plein air, studio, educational and inspirational

What a great way to start the school year! One of my night time paintings, "Moon Watchers" was a awarded Best Pastel at the Fall Open Juried Exhibit at Falmouth Artists Guild. Many thanks to the judge of awards, Jonathan McPhillips who resides in Saunderstown, RI. The exhibit is on display until October 13th and also features floral interpretations of the artwork by the Falmouth Garden Club.

Much of my studio painting time has been focused on painting the solitude found at dusk or at night. I have collected many photos over the past few years, and just can't keep up with the ideas floating in my head!!

Join the fun of painting night time scenes in my one day workshop "Painting the Night" held at the Falmouth Artist Guild on Saturday, November 1st from 9-4 pm. This workshop will explore the changes that happen after the sun goes down and the landscape is lit by moonlight and lights. Our goal will be to capture the beauty of night time, while working with the limitations of selective lighting.
