Summer Classic - Small Painting of Local Scenes, Summer, Ipswich

Summer Classic
6.125 x 5 inches
acrylic on board

Back to the Clam Box in Ipswich!
I really am enjoying painting all these signs and buildings. And there will be a bunch more as I will be the featured artist at Sage Art Gallery at the end of September - and the theme will  be having to do with local signs and buildings (still deciding on a name!).

The grouping I did of buildings in Ipswich for MiXtMedia Gallery has been popular, so  now I am doing a few more to replace the ones that have sold over the last two months. "Summer Classic" is now available at MiXtMedia.

I hope every one has a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
I plan to spend some family time - maybe some fun adventures with the boys before school starts again next week....

White Farms - Painting of Local Ice Cream Shop

White Farms
6x6 inches
acrylic on board

Yes, a cow on the roof!
I couldn't resist painting this fun ice cream place with a cow on its roof. (And the ice cream is worth the trip as well!) This is part of the "Scenes from the North Shore" that are now available at Pop Gallery in Gloucester.

We took the kids to a small "Cruise Night" last night in a nearby town. The boys actually thought it was a lot of fun, and I was able to get some new "subjects" for when I can return to my classic car paintings after my show at the end of next month....

Agawam Diner - Small Painting of Local Scene SOLD

Agawam Diner
(Rowley, MA)
6x6 inches
acrylic on board
SOLD

These little building paintings are a lot of fun! I think I need to find more diners to paint. They have a charm all their own - and they seem to be disappearing quickly. This little gem in in Rowley, a nearby town. I have eaten there a few times, but it has been years. I may need to take my kids there some day!

This painting is available through Pop Gallery through September.

This painting is another small one that I completed in Maine. It will be available at West Village Provisions in West Boxford, MA through September.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Wenham Family Festival and Fair. It was a lot of fun! I am now trying to get all my paintings organized as I begin a really busy show and fair season. I also have a bunch of work that has come back from various shows and is now available - I will be posting the paintings as I can.

Main Street
6.125 x 5 inches

Love painting doorways...the angles and colors and shadows provide interesting shapes. This one was great fun to paint! This is a scene from Main Street in Gloucester - and the painting will be heading to Pop Gallery at the end of this week with the other scenes from the North Shore.

Pepper Pals - Small Still Life Painting, Kitchen Art SOLD

Pepper Pals
4x4 inches
acrylic on canvas
SOLD

This is another little one I completed while in Maine.
I plan to take some of these fun fruit and vegetable paintings to the show at the Wenham Museum on Saturday. Any ones left after the show will be at West Village Provisions through the month of September.

Still finishing up a few North Shore scenes to deliver on Friday. These little scenes are great fun to paint. And it seems like a lot of people like seeing these familiar places. I will be doing something similar with scenes from Haverhill for a show next month. Time to get back to the easel....
