This was the first time I did a bouquet cluster with the purpose of getting the light on it. All the flowers are from my garden. It is amazing just how many you can cram into a 6x6 panel!

Ready for the Season (Framed)

36" x 36"

Oil on Deep Canvas

Framed with a Light Wood, Black Lined 

Custom made Contemporary Floater Frame

Limited Time Only

$2900

This piece will grab you and not let you go. It is quite large and uses the bright colors found on the dock. The lobster fisherman is waiting for the season to be ready; that will be when the lobsters are at the correct stage and the laws allow. In Maine, in June, there are piles of equipment on almost every dock. There are traps in every color, floats that are painted in the registered colors of each family, stacks of pallets (which is what those brown things are) The large blue container and the one on top of it are huge coolers and they are full of mackeral for bait. I watched one day as container after container dumped the mackeral into a special holding tank. In this piece, through the pallets on the right you can see through to additional traps and a snatch of the sea.

Through all this identification of stuff, what I really like is how the colors and shapes play against each other, forming an almost abstract composition.

An update for my readers:

I am restarting my Daily Paintworks blog. After a recent workshop with Carol Marine, I have returned all refreshed and inspired! I will be posting some pieces that I have posted before, but these will be now available at auction for a great price! Some will be new works inspired by the workshop, and oil sketches done on location as I work plein aire on pieces that will become larger works in the studio. The works primarily posted here will be my smaller work. Larger work will now be available through my brand-new gallery. (No website yet at larkrisinggallery.com, but watch for it and e-mail me if there is a painting you were looking for.) The new gallery is called Lark Rising, and like that bird, will lift your spirits! It is in Rockport, MA, on Bearskin Neck in the Bearskin Neck Motor Lodge lobby.

Wildflower or weed? These were not planted but were beautifully placed in the yard at the St. Johnsbury Academy in Vermont where I was taking a summer course. This piece is archivally matted to 12x14 for a nice presentation. This image, as are the other smal florals, are part of "A Year in Bloom" a series of 365 paintings I created one year. Many of these images are available in blank cards.

"Red Poinsettia on Blue"

Red Poinsettia on Blue

5x7.5

Oil on prepared paper

$120

This is one of a series of holly and poinsettias images from my "A Year in Bloom" series that I have used for years to make holiday cards from. I am finally willing to let them go. I think that will help me to make new ones next year! A purchaser will receive a few of the cards from the series as a gift. This is a particularly dramatic image of a red poinsettia.

I am participating in the Hurricane Sandy fundraiser through Daily Paintworks. Artists donate a painting for auction and all profits go to Hurricane relief. I am currently looking for the best place to send funds and am open to suggestions.
The piece I am entering is now on auction. The minimum bid of $150 is far below the regular price of $470 so you are likely to get a good deal! The location pictured is at Colton Pond in Vermont, along rte.100 just past the intersection of rte. 4 and rte.100. A nice quiet and beautiful place to stop for a picnic! Long range views of the mountains and a very private setting. I was the only car there the day I painted this. It is a good sized piece at 12"x25"

I think I may like this one best because of the obvious conection to my studio.

"Afire"

"Afire"

12x16

Oil on Arches Oil Paper

$180

This started as an abstract to music. I knew I wanted the golden center, but was surprised at how it progressed. As the painting developed darker edges, I started to sense of something burning so I went with that. I love the linear quality against the background colors, and the hot center against the cooler edges.

Confetti

"Confetti"

Acrylic on paper

$30

4x5 

One of the smallest of the new pieces, this just emerged after a session of playng with the acrylics. They are great for using layers because they dry so fast!

Color Study after Connie Hayes #2

This is the color study from the back of Connie's book, a very unusual one, very exciting. Don't you just love the violet? I do.

50 Day Project: "Color Study #5"

50 Day Project: Color Study # 5 (Wolf Kahn)

This is the first of several color studies done from a favorite artist, Wolf Kakn. The color and proportion of the color is matched, but not the subject matter.

"Yellow Freesias" (Matted)

Yellow Freesias

Matted archivally

Next to Lilies, I love to paint freesia. They seem just like just like little lillies, plus the added attraction of their great arching stem with a gracious curve. And they last a long time; one opening, then the next. I love this piece, with the bright yellow against the black and purple background.

Many of these images are available as blank cards, and I have 10 card sets (sets of 5 different blank cards) available on Etsy.

Framed "In My Garden No Tulips Blow"

In My Garden No Tulips Blow
22x15
Mixed Media
Archivally Matted with a thin Dark Wood Frame
$375

This piece is mysterious, with the use of stenciling, and drawing in ink, acrylic, and prismacolor pencil. Words are mingled with the image, speaking of the wildness of the authors garden. Delicate drawings and a print top the underlying images.

Framed "All Gardening is Landscape Painting"

All Gardening is Landscape Painting

15x22

Mixed Media on Arches Textwove

Archival Mat with

Thin Dark Wood Frame

$375

Another piece from the inside work series has a purple/red/gold theme with touches of blue and black. Each division has a separate theme with a abstracted connection to nature. Glints of metallics and delicate linear touches add details. A good piece for this time of year, where the garden is keeping me out of the studio. The white mat and dark wooden frame set it off.
