Small Works :: Warm Clouds

Marshes are my favorite subject, yet of late I've not painted a lot of them. Tim had started calling me Marsha. Alas, I cannot stay away! In person, the graded color in this work is much smoother a transition and the sky is beautiful (if I do say so myself.)

Small Works :: Red Summer Sky

The same spot as a prior post, these trees silhouetted by the changing sky have been holding my interest of late. So beautiful - and sort of intimidating to paint - and such fun!

Small Works :: Eight Cedars

The first pastel I posted was a cedar tree. The second was a cloud. I present you with a hybrid: Cedars and a cloud! In class I often discuss the benefits of working in a series and it's evident I practice what I preach.

Small works:: Cloud Redux

The second in my small works showcase. A viewer told me the favorite part were the buildings and boats at the horizon - gives it such depth. This cloud was HUGE!

Small Works :: Cedar Sentinels

What a time of year...I just love it!

The house is decked for Christmas. We have been cooking and baking and enjoying, and it's not even December yet. As is our tradition, the tree was cut down the weekend after Thanksgiving and here I sit enjoying the comfy house warmly illuminated for these darkest days on the calendar.

In the studio lately I've been working on small works for various upcoming shows. Over the next few days I'm going to showcase these paintings here. Such fun to do these small pieces. So thoroughly enjoyable!

Award and a demonstration

Hurray! I'm excited and delighted to say that my painting, SUMMER SKY, has be awarded 2nd place Pastel at the recent FAA members show. It's an honor and so encouraging.

Sometimes when painting a piece just seems to come from your fingertips - as if through inspired intervention. Summer Sky was one of those pieces. The colors I needed were all available. The contrasts and values were spot on when I tried them out. The stars were all aligned. Funny how others can feel that, too.

Finishing touches on my pastel demonstration

for the Foxboro Art Association

Last week I was the demonstrator for the Foxboro Art Association filling in for a last-minute withdrawal. The crowd was responsive to my instruction for making a pastel painting on top of an oil underpainting.

I worked on a scene inspired by Stony Brook in Norfolk, MA. If you're local to Norfolk, check out this treasured spot. Paintings are EVERYWHERE!

Three for a show

The Marion Art Center in Marion, MA invited artists to submit up to three paintings inspired by the properties of the Sippican Land Trust. (Sippican is just such a fun word to say, isn't it?)

During the summer I had the good fortune to get a personal tour of some of these properties by a local friend and was inspired. While painting a sort of 'assignment' like this is not a strong suit, I decided to take it on as a challenge. With every thing you learn and this is a great opportunity to stretch!

These three oils are all on display at the MAC through November 11, 2012. While dropping off work yesterday I was impressed with the wide range of interpretations and breadth of artists contributing their art. (Willoughby Elliot, an artist I've admired FOR YEARS is in this show. I'm delighted to think I'm in a show with his work!!)

While I was there I was also picking up my two paintings from the prior Small Works Summer Show.

What a treat that the director of the MAC wouldn't let me take them home. She bought them then and there. What a huge compliment which made for an easy drive home.

COVE ENTRY and AUTUMN STROLL by Kim Morin Weineck
original pastels, 6x6" framed to 10x10"

Stop by the MAC if you're in the area. Downtown Marion, where the art center is located, offers wonderful views for painting if you're inclined to photograph or set up an easel.
