Friends of Baxter State Park

The Friends of Baxter State Park are organizing a Plein Air Paint Out on July 24th, and I have been juried in to participate.  Also, the selected artists have been asked to submit one painting to be sold at an online auction prior to the paint out.  This little 9x12 bear picture is my entry.

Information regarding the auction may be obtained from Suzanne Brewer at suzbrew@roadrunner.com.

Dull to Colorful!

Something about this painting seemed dull - it was lacking in color.



So I dry-brushed some yellow-green, orange, purple in appropriate areas around the canvas - it seemed to bring the scene to life again - more like it was when I was there.

This is a 9x12 oil on canvasboard and will soon be in a local gallery priced at $400, framed.

The Schooner Gallery

Two of my recent paintings will be shown at the Schooner Gallery in Milbridge, Maine for about a month, starting with an opening reception this Saturday, May 25th from 4:30 to 6:30PM.  There will be free refreshments and lots of great art!

This is a 9x12 oil on canvasboard, has an elegant gold frame, priced at $400.

Sunrise on Birch Hill

Sunrise on Birch Hill - a sight to behold!  This was a must-paint view, unresistable.

Bear with Birches

I like the little sketch of this scene, so I decided to paint it again, in a larger format.

Bear with Birches - a Sketch

Just off Stud Mill Road, this logging road leads through a stand of birches and around and to the back of Little Musquatch Lake.  This is where I ran across this bear.
