THE RE VIEW

2012-02-13T12:00:00.000-08:00

The commission I painted last week was to be the 4th of mine collected for a livingroom wall.The new painting, posted Feb 6, was quite tight compared to the other 3. I wanted to be able to offer 2 choices. This is the 2nd choice of The View they requested.
Would appreciate any critique

PARADISE

2012-01-24T16:06:00.000-08:00

This painting has taken me almost a week to finish! I have been traveling for almost a month now and I don't have all of my comfortable canvas, brushes etc with me. This is the place I am living in this week...no snow here!
The apartment has a very narrow spiral staircase so I needed to use 2 canvasses to get the size I wanted.

MARY'S BOAT 12x12

We do have a good time painting on Tuesdays. Last Tuesday during the critique I dropped one of the artist's paintings in between the dock slits!!! It was a full moon high tide and we looked in the water but had no luck finding it. I felt horrible and at the same time it was so unusual that we all tried not to laugh or be upset. 20 minutes into the critique, the tide turned and we looked once again...lo and behold we found it hung up on some seaweed, ready to make it's big break out to sea. Ah, the beauty of acrylic..after 2 days of drying out it is now framed.

I hope they like it. I do. It makes me feel happy remembering hot summer days and fun times spent with them.

NORTH RIVER SCENES

2011-05-02T10:39:00.000-07:00

The North River is a very special tidal river. In the early 1700's big boats were built on the river and floated out at the huge full moon equinox tides. The boat 'the Columbia' was built in the river and sailed around the tip of South America and up to a river that was named after the boat, the Columbia River in Washington.
The James Library and Center for the Arts is having an annual show depicting North River paintings www.firstparishnorwell.org/james.html

My trusty camera died about 2 weeks ago. I am going to wait until I return to the states next week to replace it. Puerto Vallarta is one hard place to leave. I am going to miss this view and of course the perfect temperature and kind people I cross paths with every day.
Tonight is our monthly opening at STUDIO 277. I will post a YOUTUBE next week. The show looks terrific exhibiting 9 artist's work.

South of Puerto Vallarta is the village of Yelapa, accessible only by boat. Yelapa is a blast from the past : very simple, rustic and suited to a very bare bones, natural, care free lifestyle. .....inhabited by many artists.
