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.

Both of these paintings have been accepted into the "Anything, Everything Haverhill" juried exhibition at the Sage Art Gallery in Haverhill, Massachusetts! Opening reception is this Saturday, July 21st, 7-9pm. Hope to see you there!

A Little Tipsy - Mini Vegetable Still Life Painting SOLD

A Little Tipsy

3x4 inches

acrylic on canvas
SOLD

Another little still life to go in the grouping of fruits and vegetables. I'm enjoying seeing how all the colors work together. The background colors really make a big impact on how the subject looks - I am doing a lot of experimenting!

Still incredibly HOT here! I found it really hard to concentrate on painting - or anything else - today. Let's hope the heat breaks tomorrow, or I may just be a melted puddle by the end of the week!

"A Little Tipsy" will be joining a bunch of other fruit and vegetable still lifes at West Village Provisions, West Boxford, MA through late August.

His & Hers - Small Still Life Fruit Painting with Apples SOLD

His & Hers

3x5 inches

acrylic on canvas
SOLD

Now up..... a little series of fruit and vegetables on tiny canvases. Inspiration from the Farmers Market! I plan to do a bunch of these bright little canvases to hang together at West Village Provisions until the end of next month.

I love painting apples. They have so many colors in them - it is always interesting to see the form evolve as I add more and more layers of color. Every time I start painting one, I think "this one is never going to work!" Yet eventually, an apple emerges each time! Amazing stuff, this paint is  ;-)

This piece will join "Local Berries" and a few others in West Boxford, MA at West Village Provisions until late August.
