Daily Painting Sept 2017 :: No. 15 of 30

Halfway! Hurray!

My studio wall has a parade of artwork and I'm excited. Halfway feels great. Oils have been challenging me lately. They're slower than pastel and the color isn't as direct. I have to mix it and often it's not as bright or something or other as I'd like. These small works are making a big difference and that's what I'd hoped.

And today is a marsh with notes and color as I've visited in the past, but today it's with more editing.

3x3" original oil

Simplify!

It can be said for so many things in our lives. And it certainly holds true in painting.

Marsh Morning

Yes. Please, just call me Marsha. I loved making this painting. Each color made me happy happy happy. This particular marsh is the bees knees of marshes. It's up in Newbury, MA and I love it in every season.

Usually one to rush and make hasty decisions, I took this painting slow and deliberately, and I think it shows. At the end, I tried to stretch the local color and make more exciting, exuberant choices. In person, the cobalt, violet, and earthy browns are noticeable in the foreground.

Can't wait to do another marsh!

"Pink Marsh Sky" and "Pink Marsh Morning"

This marsh makes me so delightedly happy. Each time I paint it I learn something new. The colors in the sky are serene and I love a good pink!

Sometimes I play around with the space by playing with the greens, too. Such fun!

Not sure which one of this view I like better. Fun to consider.

Deadlines = Productivity ;)

When it rains it pours. Two new galleries are interested in my work and both asked for a collection of work for April. Of course the answer is YES and so it's time to get busy. (More info to come on these galleries and what they're showing later next week.)

ASSORTED TITLES
original pastels, 6x6" each

Always one to paint in waves of productivity, these six worked up rather quickly after many misses and pieces that are on the 'to be reworked' pile. This weekend I hope to do some larger pieces.

And there's the "Great Frame Up" show at Gallery9. My frame is a challenge, but I'm up to the task!

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

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.

6x6" Pastels for summertime

It's been a great summer weatherwise and artwise. Setting up my easel in the backyard and overseeing my young girls play is like a sort of art utopia which seems to get my creative juices flowing!

These 6x6" pastels are something I love to do. When seen together I am really excited about how they look.

If you're interested in any, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the gallery that has them. Each is $125 framed to 10x10" in a simple squared gold frame with a white mat.

Thanks for reading! ~kmw
