Summer Day in Sheffield

I have been so busy getting ready for all the summer exhibits! Time flies....An incredible property in Sheffield Ma...gardens galore...Peonies on the table, clouds in the sky , laundry on the line....a great day for painting...36x48" oil on canvas

Morning Dorry's Cove Looking South Sunset Dorry's Cove Looking North BI

 

I fell in love with the gulls flying over head ...the color of their bellies up against the blue sky...As the sun set the dunes took on the orange light...the end to a perfect day...

Block Island Studies

 

 

First the house at the bend in the road...late afternoon light...irises blooming in the marsh...second, Great Salt Pond almost sunset looking over the water from  the Sullivan House...what a magnificent time I had painting...how wonderful, uninterrupted work....16x20" oil on canvas 12x24"



White Double Amaryllis in a Blue Pot

 

 

 



This blossom broke off of the stem and I put it in a pot of water and placed it on the beautiful orange dragon fabric...I had wanted to paint it for a while but we had gone away... when we returned this was the only blossom left so I seized the opportunity and these are what came of it...plus one more....12x12" oil on canvas
