The cold has arrived here in New England , a bit early , feels like January right now. I had to winterized the chicken coop , so my guys won't freeze. I can't believe in a month it will be Christmas . If you are like me , you are not ready ! but you still have time now to look for a nice a piece of art work , become a collector ! I just bought a painting myself from a fellow daily painter artist , and I just love it ! present to myself.
The last two days, I have been involve in openings of two different shows , lots of nice art and lots of food ! it is also nice to see old friends , and discuss our next work of art or the next strategy on marketing . Between commissions and socializing , not much time is left, and the days are getting so short , winter has arrived in New England .
I am working on some house portraits right now , time is limited for new work, I painted this one last year at this time , I would love for someone to adopt this painting and give it a good wall.
Today, I was busy all day , started with taking Clancy for his shots, he was not too happy about this, also the Vet informed me that deer ticks don't dye after the frost , and to watch for them all year , after getting Lyme disease this summer , I am a bit nervous!
I was cleaning an old pastel box when I found a painting, I started couple years ago , I had totally forgot about it , so I decided to play with some colors and change what was started and went wild with some colors just doing the scene from memory , sometimes we try too hard to get the exact colors in front of us or copy a photo exactly.
The weather was so dreary today, rained most of the day, I didn't feel like doing much ,my day was not very productive , I needed a day off !
I am getting at the end of a plein air season, the scene has changed drastically in the last two weeks, the leaves are all down , the colors are just about gone, I am now waiting for some snow, I am the only one who likes the snow , I love the beauty of fresh snow, perfect for an artist.
Posting where my work can be seen in New England , Now trough December
I painted this early this morning ,inspired by my morning walk with Clancy ,I walk with two other friends and our dogs for an hour each morning, the morning sky is always so nice that I want to go paint right away,a great way to start your day!
Yesterday, I decided to give my blog a new look , I had the same look for the last two and half years, hope it won't be confusing for anyone .
Yesterday my friend and I went to the New Hampshire pastel society meeting , a very nice group of people working hard to get all the members together from all over the State , we had a demo after from a young talented woman Dawn Gardetto who's work is just beautiful .
Well, a year ago I painted chickens , and will again for a week , Right now in my yard I have seven roosters and nine hens most are from the spring batch, not all mine , my neighbor and I 
Another beautiful fall day, I wonder how many we will have before the real winter arrives , I am enjoying every minutes of it, except picking up the leaves in my yard , millions of them!
Yesterday , My friend Sue and I brought some paintings for the pastel member show in Kennebunkport ,after delivery, We had a nice lunch downtown then took a drive down Ocean Avenue , the fall colors along the ocean were very nice , mostly all different bushes and berry's .

I painted this street of a small village in Maine some years back where all the houses remind it me of haunted houses, i thought I would share it for a night on Halloween .
I just change my computer ,I am not doing well with the change of Vista , so different then my old one ,I am spending so much time trying to get my files , photos etc..
The weather has gone crazy in parts of the states , Snow! Oh no ,not yet, fall is not over!
I am getting ready for a painting demonstration at the Chelmsford art society tomorrow night, I had to get all my material ready, I will paint a landscape with fall colors, and talk about daily painters, so busy day tomorrow!
Beautiful fall day here, I made a turkey dinner today to cheer up my husband ,also had my family over but in between I managed to paint this scene, I took a photo of it last week while coming back from a painting day , I love the colors and the reflection of the trees and the color of the weeds in the water,if you are familiar with New England , you know a scene just like that .
I have had another duty these past few days, to be a nurse to my husband , he is doing fine now, but we definitely had a scare , diabetes is an horrible disease , hope they will find a cure soon .
My life has been very busy these last few day with some family emergency , my husband in the hospital with some health issues , He will be OK ,but the next few days I must take care of him first. the skies in September and October are very dramatic and just beautiful.
I am just about finish with a large commission ,after this I really want to go back outdoors while the leaves are still on the trees and capture the last beauty of the season, I am also still having computer problem , I had bought a new one and after three weeks of problem with this new machine ,I packed the whole thing and returned it to the store and picked a different one .I just hope this one work the way it's supposed to.
