"Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul." - Edgar Allan Poe

It's been a  long time since my last post and I've been lucky enough to do some wonderful traveling. Two weeks in China, 900 photos and some sketches, so hopefully I will be posting some China paintings this Fall.

Good news... I just found out that I Won 3rd Place Watercolor in the Duxbury Art Association Summer Show for "Waiting in the Wings".  A painting done from a photograph of a very dear friend's grandaughter that I just had to paint!

A wonderful day painting at the Marshfield Garden Tour... here's my day's endeavors....


Painting on the Marshfield Garden Tour

I'm off with my paints and brushes to paint in a lovely garden on the Marshfield Garden Tour today... hope to see some of you there.

Here's an old favorite of mine, daisies on a garden wall.  "Summer Harvest" an award winner... lets hope I can do as well today :)

I had a wonderful day painting at the North River Arts Festival... very hot though, but I painted for a good while, finally packing up around 3pm.  I was almost done but finished my painting at home in my studio.... and was very happy with it!
