I Finished my 40” x 60” Painting – My Largest Yet
Over year ago on my birthday, my husband gave me an enormous canvas. I have finally finished it. Done in oil paint over an acrylic ground, it…
My New Oil Painting: Nut and Geb
At Creative Arts Camp this fall, when I learned more about underpainting, I remembered a painting I had done mostly as therapy to get over some upsetting news. Not surprisingly under those conditions, it had come out terribly and I knew now that I could definitely save it by relegating it as a first layer … Read more
Creative Arts Camp 2011: Painting #6: What Will the Harvest Be?
This is the last (and I think the best) painting I did at camp. There is a story to this painting; it was a learning process on many levels. I had been painting with high energy all week. The last day it occurred to me there were things my teacher could teach me … Read more
Creative Arts Camp 2011: Painting #5 (The Tree)

My New Oil Painting
One of the pleasures of our time here in Maine is my daughter and I oil paint on the dock. (We usually try to do this early in the week to allow for drying time, but we still return with wet ones in the car’s rear window.) This is the painting I did today and … Read more
