Lonely Pine

My plien air friends and I painted at a lovely spot located in Narragansett RI. This spot was on a private property across from where the tide water river called the Narrow's goes into the Ocean. It is a 12"x6" oil.

Beavertail Light House, Jamestown RI

This scene was painted  at Beavertail light house at the tip of Jamestown Island which is located in the Bay between the mainland and Newport RI. It was a very foggy windy day. I chose to paint a favorite out crop of rocks which are normally used as a fishing perch on better days. It is painted in oil and measures 8" x 8".

Newport, Rhode Island

I was at a very beautiful cove near Green Bridge on Ocean Drive. This painting is 8"x 8" and painted in oils.SOLD

Eggplant and lemon

                                             6"x6" oil.

A Little Bit of Spring

A little bit of Spring is 9" x 12" oil,  painted on a panel.

Sprinkles

I thought it was time for a donut painting. I paint sometimes with friends in a class. They always enjoy my food setups which are shared afterwards. This is a 9"x12" oil painting.

Three of a Kind

I love the color I ended up putting behind these pears. It is a 6"x 6" oil painting.

"Three Green Pears"

I got a beautiful wooden bowl as a present from a good friend recently. Wanting to use this in a painting I chose to arrange three pears sitting in it. This painting is now showing at the Wickford Art Association members show. The opening is Sunday March 20th between from 1:00-3:00PM. It is 6" x 6" oil framed in gold priced at $150.00

Grapes

This Grape painting was painted while I was at the Wickford Art Association. My painting group goes there during the winter months. We laugh and have a great time during these sessions. Maybe too much.

Orange II

  I am on to painting another nestled orange in a napkin.
  I guess I like the look of a protected orange.

One More

I decided to call this "One More" just because you might want one more bite. It had coconut on top and was yummy after painting during the day with it. I found it at a fabulous bakery in Bristol RI.

Bosc Pears

 

Pear are one of my favorite fruits to paint. I love the colors and shape.

Orange Nesting in a Napkin

This a painting of an orange wrapped in a old cross stitch napkin which I inherited from my Mother.
SOLD

Havest Cauliflower

Another great find at the road side stand.

Salsa

These peppers were found at a roadside stand. They reminded me of a spicy salsa.

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.

Summer Pears

I found this great piece of material (actually a placemat from Crate & Barrel ) for the background to these luscious pears. Unfortunately there was only one left as usual on sale.

Jelly Donut

I enjoy reading Kelly MacDonald's daily blog. She is in a donut painting war with a fellow daily painter.
I decided to try my hand at a Dunkin Donut jelly filled one. I would like to add that by the time I got around to painting it most of the powdered sugar melted off due to the high humidity we are experiencing now on the east coast.

Relaxed

A very relaxed banana pepper that made me laugh.

Monhegan Island

This is a painting view from behind the one room school house on Monhegan Island.
