Available. Please email me for purchasing options.
A still day, and a view out on the lake. It’s so still. I get lost in the beauty of it for a few moments that seem like forever.
This painting and several others will be displayed at the SaratogaArtFest Center and Gallery Group Exhibition now through ArtsFest weekend on June 6-9, 2013. The Grand Opening Artists Reception will be held this Monday, May 20 from 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
The Gallery is located at 38 Van Dam Street, Saratoga Springs, NY.
I am honored to be exhibiting with three other great visual artists this year – a sculptor, photographer, and another painter. I’m sure it will be a wonderful show. Kathleen Lucey, the curator always does such a wonderful job choosing pieces that are exciting and interesting to experience.
If you’re local – please come out to see us!

The lilacs are blooming here! They are so fragrant and beautiful. This bunch was a Mother’s Day gift from my sweet in-laws. Instant inspiration for a painting! I hope all you Mom’s out there enjoyed your Mother’s day.

Now here’s something different for me – a still life!
These beautiful tulips looked so pretty in my leaf vase. I added a few tangerines and, viola! – a nice still life set-up that had to be painted! It felt good going out of my comfort landscape zone to try this. I would like to do that more often.

I’ve been busy preparing for my summer shows! In addition to my solo exhibit in July at Mimosa Gallery, I have two other group shows coming up in June – more details about those later. It’s all very exciting and I’ve been doing a great job carving out time to work on new pieces – even if it means staying up to the wee hours. All this excitement comes with lots of energy and motivation.
I came across this quote from Edward Seago on Marc Hanson’s Facebook page:
“Often, in my mind, I have pictured a great blank canvas, and in my imagination I have seen it transformed into the masterpiece of my dreams. Memory has conjured the subject and imagination has fashioned it. How I wish I could show you one of those pictures. They are very broad in treatment and there is no detail to distract the eye; yet the tiniest incident is there if you look- the glint of a dragonfly’s wing over the water, and the blue-green of the hedge-sparrow’s eggs in the smooth hollow of the nest. The colours cannot be found in tubes- they are taken from the fields and flowers, and are mixed with light and air.” – Edward Seago
That pretty much sums up how I’ve always felt about the natural world. I have all this beautiful imagery bopping around the brain, and I am eager to share it with you all.

We recently painted our downstairs bathroom a beautiful shade of blue. I needed some art to finish up the space, so I grabbed my pastels and whipped up these little gems inspired by our trip to Cape Cod last year. I found the perfect frames for them at Target, and VIOLA! New original art on the walls, framed and looking pretty great (if I do say so myself!)

The kids and I found this fallen empty nest at the park last summer. I’ve wanted to paint it ever since. This was my first time painting a nest, and it was such a soothing and comforting experience. There is something so precious about a nest. Can an object be secure and delicate at the same time? I think so.

Happy March! Spring is right around the corner, so I have fresh greens on the mind. I have enjoyed this winter, but I am starting to long for warm sunshine, and the sweet smell of new grass.
This pastel was a challenge due to all the variety of greens. It depicts an early spring scene in the Berkshires. I snapped a few photos while on the way to the Clark Museum a few years ago, and I’ve been wanting to paint it for quite some time. I’m glad I took the challenge – pretty pleased with the results.

Here’s a little pastel celebrating Spring. I took an early morning kayak trip a few years ago and took many photos of this sweet, quiet spot just off the lake. I like to think of it as my very own secret place. I’m looking forward to visiting again this coming spring.

This is one of the views from my backyard, looking toward the marsh. We were out last weekend on the ice, and it was so beautiful! The kids had fun sledding and sliding around. I have several paintings lined up inspired by the marsh, and the lake. As Emma says “It’s Magical!”.
