Strike

"Strike"
(5" x 7")

I am still doing studies for a underwater painting. This is a stripper bass. Common fish here on Cape Cod. My husband loves to catch them. They are huge.  A keeper is 27". We seldom keep them, but when we do they are wonderful on the grill fresh out of the ocean.

The Chase

"The Chase"
5" x 7"

This is a study for a larger painting. I am working on capturing underwater life. And since I don't scuba or have an underwater camera...I'm just going to try imagining it.

Gold in the Wind
5" x 7"

I am enjoying painting the trees this Fall. I have done this image before, but smaller. I really like the viewpoint and you just can't go wrong with yellow and blue.

Tree Music
5" x 7"

Trees have a rhythm and a pattern to their leaves and branches. I took the photo for this painting a few years ago walking in woods and randomly taking shots up into the trees from the path. This tree seems to have a whirling song in branches and so I listened and tried to capture what I heard.

"Autumn Light"
5" x 7"

This painting has all my favorite things: water, boats and lots of golden light. This painting was created for our weekly DPW painting challenge to depict what Fall is to you. For me, it's all about the light. Enough said.

Maxwell
5" x 7"

I went to visit my brother in New York last month and got some cute photos of his baby, Maxwell. Max was a rescue from the streets of the city and my brother and his partner adore him. He is sweet and playful and quite the uptown dog now living in a penthouse apartment with his cat sister Bean. Here we see him relaxing after a hard morning of ball chasing.

The Crevice
6" x 6"

This piece was created for a DPW painting challenge. I chose to zoom in on the area I was most interested in which was where the water and crevice met. I like the air of mystery....what's could be in there....a seamonster? a pirate ship? or maybe a quick trip to the land of Narnia? Anyway it was fun.
