My Mom’s Abstract Watercolors
Recently, I’ve taken the photos below of the abstract watercolor paintings by my mother that I own, and I thought you’d enjoy seeing them…
Featured Artist: Marian Dioguardi
Not usually a fan of still life, I have at last found some still life paintings that I genuinely love. Check out here and on her website, the work of Marion Dioguardi. Who knew cups could be so exciting? These are so wonderful; my hat is off to her!
David Dunlop at the Watershed Gallery
If you get a chance and are in Ridgefield, CT this summer, check out David Dunlap’s paintings at the Watershed Gallery. They are lovely and particularly fascinating because they are painted on brushed aluminum and even silver. The one I loved the most (a detail above, the complete painting at the bottom of the post) … Read more
Featured Artist: Robert Baribeau
This abstract artist has a show in New York City at the Allan Stone Gallery from now until July 29th, and I thought if you happened to be in New York City in the next six weeks, might want to catch this show. It spans 30 years of Robert Baribeau’s work. These works are considered … Read more

Featured Artist: Sonia Agosti
I have been enjoying this artwork by Italian artist Sonia Agosti. I love the vigorous swipes of paint and the immediacy of the color. I feel something is clearly communicated here that words are insufficient for. There is an intensity in her that I resonate with, and looking at these paintings makes me want to … Read more

If you either love Maine or love watercolors you’ll enjoy this artist. I recommend this lovely book from which the photos below come.
Featured Artist: Henry Isaacs

“Scanner Photography” by Ellen HoverKamp
These exceptional photos (yes, done by a high resolution scanner!) are also available in the New Pond Farm Photography Show that I posted about yesterday.
Artist Paul Signac
I’ve been studying up on the artist Paul Signac, who is new to me and I find his work inspiring. A contemporary of and friends with Monet, Van Gogh, and…
Monet Water Lily Exhibit
We went to the exhibit of Monet’s Water Lilies at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford. What struck me in seeing them this time was how casual he was in his suggestion of forms; nothing was overworked. There were spots of canvas left blank and many lilies were just dabs or scribbles. And this was true … Read more
Artist: Laura Deane
While in Annapolis, I was privileged to see this artwork done in mixed media collage by Laura Deane. I found her work to be truly inspired! You can see more on her website by clicking here. Some of these photos are close-up details and not the entire work… Enjoy!
Judy’s Twelve Life Lessons for Creativity
I have some awesome friends. One of them is Judy Reilly. She was a fellow church member here for some time before moving to Vermont. I miss seeing her regularly! She is an amazing quilt artist. I love her quilt’s color and whimsey and insight. My three photographs on this post are of quilts of … Read more
Book Review: Abstract and Colour Techniques in Painting
I checked this book out so many times from the library, I finally bought it with one of my amazon credit card coupons. I’m so glad I did! I find this book very inspirational. Claire Harrigan’s paintings I think are stellar but her advise is just as good. You can see in the sneak preview … Read more
