Market street,Lowell MA

watercolor 8x10 (c) 2012 .
I had a nice week end in Maine relaxing and sketching and also worked on this watercolor for my solo show in November. What I liked in this scene was the nice sunny day with the strong shadows across the road, I think I captured what I felt that day. The downtown of this old mill town  has  made a comeback with nice restaurants and gifts shops,it has a lot of history and the town welcomes many  visitors, interesting tours of old mills and museums are offered. My goal for this show is to capture some of the best of Lowell. Having a studio at Western Avenue has opened my eyes on some of the local scene.

10x10 oil on canvas

My favorite thing to do is kayaking on our pond in Maine , this is my friend in front of me last summer , it is so peaceful ! I can wait to go there and do this this summer .
I decided to paint this in a different style using the palette knife , I have not used this style in a long time I used to teach a class in Germany with the knife painting at different community centers many years ago in the 70's . where does the time go!
