It's so interesting to watch the herd. This buck is big and bold. He postures in a way that makes everyone, including us, know who is really in charge.

Our pasture/yard has been invaded by these creatures. They're so beautiful but so distructive. The herd grows every year. I think we are up to 23....

6x6" oil on wood panel sold
Be Creative, Be Yourself, Let your spirit take flight. Thats what I was thinking about today when I painted this. Marisa over at http://www.creativethursday.com/ is encouraging everyone to do something, Anything creative today. This is what I did with that in mind. Now its your turn, doesnt have to be a painting...could be making cookies, writing a poem, taking a new way home from work, or stacking pumpkins on an urn like I did today. Try it! If you want send her a photo of your creativity!

6x6" oil on masonite panel sold

Painted at the beach today. What a gorgeous day! a bit windy though and once again spilled my medium! but I'm happy with this one and the day. The golden rod and asters in the beach grass and roses are in full bloom. Gorgeous. I love this time of year. Below check out all my goodies I picked up at the farm stand on the way home. Now thats some fall inspiration! :-)

Beach Bright

6x6" oil on masonite panel
Maybe if it actually starts to FEEL like fall around here I'll start to paint something besides the beach. Anyway, the more I paint the more I have the urge to move away from realism into ....well, I'm not sure, something simple? loose? graphic? Its a constant battle. In this it was all about just color. yummy crisp color (once again my photo doesnt do it justice) and that shadow on the blanket. I like that.

***dont forget, if you are in the area the RISD alumni,student sale is on Oct. 6th 10-4 on Benefit St. in front of the museum. Its a great time and place to pick up some neat art. I'll be there with lots of paintings and some prints too. Come by and say HI.***

These are the most majestic cows. However, they spend so much time with their snouts in the grass, attending to their girth that it was difficult to get images with their heads up.

Beach Color SOLD

6x8" oil on masonite panel sold
This I actually painted on 8x8 but I think it looks better cropped (this is the cropped version)so when its dry I will cut it down and resign it. The photo also doesnt really capture the vivid color. I tried. Below is a photo that I just cant help calling "I 'heart' the beach" The beach we go to (Briggs Beach,Little Compton) is actually loaded with rocks which I almost always dont paint-artistic liscence :-) BUT we are always on the lookout for 'heart' rocks and for the last couple of years we bring them home and toss them in a bowl on our dining room table. This is a photo of them. We 'heart' the beach.

"Tres Leche", oil on masonite, 6x12

This was interesting to do. It is similar to a previous image but was painted with a paint product new to me. I just visited and toured M.Graham's facilty in Hubbard, Oregon. I used only their paint except black and white. I failed to bring those back with me. I must say, they make an amazing product. The tubes are so saturated with color that I continually used too much paint when mixing. Once one gets the hang of it this high quality paint should go much further than their competitors. The tinting strength is amazing.

Beach Fog SOLD

6x8" oil on masonite sold
Its finally raining here, so I was inspired to paint the beach in the fog....my favorite beach weather. Right now this is drying on my kitchen window sill and I have to admit it is one of my favorites of late. Not sure why, maybe its the 'feeling' or the colors or the fact that I love the beach on a foggy day or the free loose manner in which it was painted, maybe its all of the above. At any rate, I like it and now I'm going to clean up and put away some summer stuff, dare I say 'it may be time to get Mums'. Some of you are probably alittle sick of the beach scenes and wondering when the fall scenes will pop up. Ive got a few more beachy ones to get out of my system but oooh the warm side of the color wheel is starting to look real tempting ;-)
