Abduction with Birds

I love painting abstracts! I put myself on automatic pilot and they just paint themselves, evolving and changing as the painting progresses until I come to a point that I feel they're DONE. Tricky - because I can keep painting and over painting until the spontaneity is lost and I have one big meaningless mess.

Frederick Judd Waugh

This rugged seascape is a tribute to my great grandfather , noted marine painter Frederick Judd Waugh. Growing up I was surrounded by his paintings, writings and often told great stories about this master of the Rocks and Sea. Although I have not had the intense training that this man, who painted the sea his entire life had, I decided to give it a shot and paint one myself, inspired by one of his masterpieces. I'm happy with it!

I'M BACK!!

Hello People! I'm back and busy painting again so thought I'd pick up this old blog where I left off and sell some paintings. Wow - my last post was eight years ago so I hope I can remember how to blog again.
There have been lots of changes in my life since 2008! My 3 children are all off on their own and I now have a total of 8 grandchildren - with number nine due in April of '17. Oh how I love my little Grandies!!
Oh - and I have moved. I skipped town last year and am now living my life long dream in Maine with my SO, Ken and our two dogs. I love it here - It's like stepping back in time to another era - an easy going, slow paced, down home - DO WHAT YOU WANT, kinda place. Our house in the Maine Woods is only ten mins from the beach and beauty abounds here - from our back woods to hiking trails, gorgeous lakes and that beautiful rugged rocky sea that drew me here in the first place. Yes, LIFE IS GOOD!!

About this painting - "Rainy Day in Portland"

I love Portland - especially Old Port and the historic district. Its a hip and happening place, yet has all the charm of yesterday with its cobblestone streets and old architecture. Lots of boutiques, breweries, pubs and some of the best restaurants you will find in all of New England.
