Cupcakes

Saw these at Stop and Shop and thought they would be fun to paint.

"Get Going While the Going is Good"

It looks like this little one is escaping. I always think of pumpkins when Fall rolls around. Fall is my favorite time of year, I guess because I love Halloween so much.
This painting is a 8"x 8" oil on gesso board.

Cliff Walk, Newport Rhode Island

I painted this scene when my plien air group was invited to paint on Salve Regina's property. Salve Regina is an old prominent college located in Newport, Rhode Island. This is the view from their administration building.
The view is part of the Cliff Walk along the ocean where many famous mansions are located. A beautiful walk which many tourist love taking during the summer months.
It is 9"x12" oil.

Cherries

This was painted when cherries were not as expensive back in August. I am only now able to post due to trouble photographing. I had to have a nice overcast day like today to photograph it outside while waiting for the remnants from hurricane Earl to arrive. :)
Cherries is a 6"x6" oil.

End of Summer

As Summer winds down gardeners empty pots and get ready for the change of season. I found this scene at a beautiful house located in Newport RI. where my plien air painting group painted last week.
End of Summer is a 8"x11" oil.
