I've been painting and framing for what seems like weeks.... actually IT IS weeks!

The good news is that I'm all ready for my solo show "Near & Far, Travels in Watercolor".

The show is a mixture of recent paintings of the beautiful south shore and my travels here and abroad.  

Just a teaser...my husband and I had a wonderful trip this year to Australia so, if any of my blog friends out there are able to attend my opening, you can expect a a couple of scenes from the "outback" as well as other interesting places.  Unfortunately, time ran out just when I have so many scenes I'd like to get painted.... something to look forward to!

Hope some of you can make my opening on Friday July 11th 5-7pm

"Cohasset Common"

NEW SHOWS THIS WEEK...   Hope to see you!

NRAS Festival

As some of you might know, every Memorial Weekend the North River Arts Society host their annual street festival.  It's wonderful event which I try never to miss.  This is  my on site, plein aire painting done last Saturday while listening to the band play and watching the clouds skudding across the skies and the sun breaking out.  A wonderful day!

I'm also adding some images from the last couple of years of festival painting... hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoy painting at the festival each year.

This is my donated collage titled "Beach Day" for the North River Arts Society Festival on 

Memorial Weekend. 

The opening party is this Friday, May 23rd at 7pm

It's always a great event so call 781.837.8091 or go up on

It's been a very busy year so far and I haven't managed to blog since January...Wow! How time flies!!

Well, I do have some good excuses. The first one being that I was away for a whole month this winter into spring, traveling around Australia and New Zealand. What gorgeous countries they are and we had a fabulous time. I took tons of photos so will keep you posted on upcoming "down under" paintings which I plan on getting to this summer so keep tuned.

My Good Wishes for a Happy New Year to all my art friends and followers!

I'm remembering those gorgeous summer days with my painting "Weir Farm"in Hingham.  A lovely spot for plein aire painting, although I have to confess I did this from a photo and sketches.  Still, I love the mood it conveys, it makes me impatient for those hot sunny days of summer.

"BERMUDA DAYS SERIES"

We had a wonderful cruise to Bermuda in May for a lovely destination wedding of the daughter of friends.
I couldn't get over the gorgeous color of the ocean.  Crystal clear, turquoise water and beautiful skies.  I took SOooooo many photos, I just couldn't stop.  Now I've finally managed the time to capture some of that Bermudian atmosphere.  I hope you, my blogger friends out there, enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed painting them!

I just loved painting these tiny fellows for my Backyard Series. These little gems are all framed and  hanging in the Front Street Gallery, 124 Front Street, Scituate for the "December First Friday" Holiday Show. The reception is this Friday, Dec 5th  6-8pm.
Come and stroll along a lovely decorated Front Street.  Visit all the stores and enjoy the musicians and refreshments while you look for those special buys.  All the shops are open till 8pm.

Consider an original watercolor for a special person in your life!
