Catching Up

Tide Pools, 11x14", oil on canvas panel.

Red Boat in Lobster Cove, 5x7", oil on panel.

Here are the pieces I did the last two days. Conditions today were very windy and my subject (Red Boat) on the water meant there was no windbreak anywhere nearby. I still think I managed to capture the values and colors though, even if the boat was swinging back and forth on its mooring the whole time.

...speaks for itself, I think.

At Cove Avenue

At Cove Avenue, 5x7", oil on panel.

Here's another small landscape painting. This time, I'm situated on rocks at the end of Cove Avenue. Today I had a nice sunny day, even though the wind was still coming strong off the coast, it livened the colors of the scene dramatically, and I got to play with colors that you wouldn't really consider neutral. That was nice.



Also, last night I went to my first session at the Rockport Art Association's weekly figure drawing group. Unfortunately, the model didn't show up, but on the plus side, it was therefore free and we all took turns sketching each other, so I got to know my classmates' faces, if not their names. These are all 10 minute sketches.
