Small works :: Starlight Mint

If you have been following my Small Works postings on this blog you will recognize this favorite subject of mine: red and white. My goodness, this wee mint sits on my desk with other treasured still life objects. Once Tim tried to eat it -- I think he still can recall my scream. Ha! Important for future happiness: Don't eat the still life!

Small works :: Sky Afire

Despite the fact that I often discourage my students from painting sunsets because it can be difficult to make a sunset painting look believable, here I present another sunset painting! In the previous post I referred to the juxtaposition of dull and bright colors and this is another example of the same theme. In person the colors are brighter and duller simultaneously. Try as I might, this is the closest to accurate I could get.

Notice my friends, the cedar trees, at the middle right of the painting? I also liked the loose details in the distant bank of land.

Small works :: Cloud Strata

Clouds and sunsets in the landscape offer such opportunity for an artist to use colors in bold new ways. This subject had me reaching for the oft-unused sticks of color: orange, magenta, bright yellow (!) and couple them with the grayed blues and greens. Who wouldn't have fun doing that? Want something to appear brighter? Surround it with darker, duller tones. Wham! Bright gorgeousness!!

Small works :: Bird Island

As an artist-member of the Marion Art Center I'm invited to contribute artwork to their shows. The Holiday Shop is a favorite! Bird Island is the local lighthouse and looking at this painting makes me pine for summertime. Ahhhhh.

Small works :: Late Summer Marsh

This marsh on the North Shore of Massachusetts is a continuous source of inspiration for me. A delightful spot with ever-changing color and texture, I get giddy driving there anticipating what I'll see at various times of the year.

Small works :: Sun Streaked

Walking on the beach in the off-season is such fun! New arrays of color are everywhere and these colors are  wonderful to capture in painting. In person, the color in the shadow is deep and somewhat unexpected. I've been researching depth of color in shadows and having a great time doing it!

For the holidays I do love the look of red and white. Starlight mints are the most perfect showcase of this color duo. Make me so happy!
