Baby Blues - Small Still Life of Blueberries, Kitchen Art

Baby Blues

4x6 inches

acrylic on canvas

These tiny Maine blueberries were my kids absolutely favorite thing that we brought home from the Middleton Farmers Market a few weeks ago. I think they chanted "pancakes, pancakes" the whole way home. They certainly didn't last for long - and made us all look forward to our trip to Maine later this summer when we will get to pick our own!

Baby Blues will be at West Village Provisions, West Boxford, Massachusetts through late August.

Bunch of Beans - Small Still Life Vegetable Painting SOLD

Bunch of Beans

5x3 inches

acrylic on canvas
SOLD

Who knew that beans would actually be fun to paint! Really makes me eager for my next trip to the Farmers Market. I hate when I run out of vegetables and have to buy some at the grocery store this time of year.

This little guy will be ganging up with other fruits and vegetables at West Village Provisions, West Boxford, MA through late August.

Wax Beans - Mini Still Life Kitchen Art

Wax Beans

3x5 inches

acrylic on canvas

One of my favorite things from the Farmers Market! The wimpy green beans in the grocery store can never compare to fresh yellow wax beans.

This little still life will be at West Village Provisions in West Boxford, Massachusetts through late August.

Cameron's - North Shore Cityscape, Gloucester Restaurant SOLD

Cameron's

8 x 4.5 inches

acrylic on board
SOLD

Another "Scene from the North Shore" for Pop Gallery. I found an old menu online that declares it "Where the Natives Dine". But no more - I think it went out of business last year. I liked the angles and the shadows, so I had to give it a shot.....I may try another one from a different angle.

Pat's Diner - Small Landscape Painting Salisbury, MA

Pat's Diner

6x6 inches

acrylic on board

This is a classic little diner in Salisbury, Massachusetts. I am currently working on a small series of Scenes from the North Shore for Pop Gallery. So many interesting places that I want to paint! While I will need to narrow it down to just a few to complete over the next two weeks, I suspect it will be a series that I return to frequently. People seem to connect with these little paintings....even if they have never been to the specific spot, it always seems to remind them of somewhere they have been. I am enjoying hearing from people about these spots or the memories they conjure.

This little piece will be available at Pop Gallery for the month of August.

First Blush - Small Still Life Pear Painting SOLD

First Blush

4x3 inches

acrylic on canvas
SOLD

This is last in the little grouping of fruits and vegetables that I took to West Village Provisions on Saturday.

Here is how the last four look together (on my easel):

First Blush, the four paintings above, and two other veggies I had completed earlier went to West Village Provisions on Friday. By Saturday, three of them had sold! I think there may be some more produce in my near future.....

Summer Gathering - Small Still Life Painting, Kitchen Art SOLD

Summer Gathering

4x4 inches

acrylic on canvas
SOLD

Adding this one to the group that will go to West Village Provisions tomorrow. I think this is going to be a fun little grouping! I feel like I could keep going with the fruits and vegetables (so much produce, so little time!), but I think I am going to try to finish up one last one that is on my easel and then move on to some other pieces I need to get done.

Summer Gathering will be at West Village Provisions, West Boxford, MA through late August.
