I met my goal of 10 paintings for the Ann Gorbett and Polo Barrera show opening this Friday ( see previous posts). I'll soon be posting all the paintings on the Paintings page.
I just finished this one and was excited to post it 'cause I'm very happy with how it came out. I painted this from a pic I took from a local pond. This is an addition to my latest Nature Series.
I spent the weekend at the Artist Studio and Gallery at Patriot's Place and produced this new painting in oils for my upcoming show at Gallery 9. I am one of the anchor artists so my work is always on display. Every weekend there are three guest/featured artists. This weekend we had two photographers and a painter: Nancy Antico, Alisa Luciano, and Joanne Willoughby. It was a lot of fun and productive at the same time.
This is the second painting for the December show at Gallery 9 in it's progression. It's a little different for me to start with an underpainting or ground, being a bit traditional or academic.
This is my latest painting which may be the general direction (technique as much as the natural subject matter) I'm taking for the next two months towards the show at Gallery 9 in December in Norwood, MA. 14" x 18", oils
Fellow artists, Kim Morin Weineck and Tony Donovan of the Neponset Valley Artists neponsetvalleyartists.blogspot.com, set out very early in the morning to capture images of the famous Brant Point Lighthouse on Nantucket. I painted this 14" x 11" acrylic on canvas, being inspired by the dramatic colors and the straight-forwardness of the composition. This was perfect for me because I've been trying to push my colors and looking to paint with a more modernist approach. The painting is now hanging at the Artist's Studio and Gallery at Patriot Place. artgalleryatpatriotplace.blogspot.com
