This is the last in the Cape Cod Series from June 2014. I'll be back!  Here I found a couple sunbathing and just hanging around while the sun glimmered on the water. Ah, how nice, how lovely, how I'd like to be there right now!  I love the snow fence and its purple and blue shadows in this one!

Blue and White Boat

Oil on Prepared Paper

7.5 x11 plus mat and frame

$390

Archival mat and contemporary natural frame 

This piece is a great memory one for me and it is getting reframed and is on its way to the gallery, unless someone buys it first!  I was taking a summer painting class at U Mass Dartmouth and we were supposed to stay on campus to paint, which was primarily a solo undertaking. We would go out, do our thing, then return to the studio for an extensive critique. One day I escaped and discovered a wonderful out of the way boat yard. It was full of old boats and weeds, gravel roads and had a wonderful view of the ocean. I came back day after day, doing painting after painting. This was one of my favorites and is the first image I ever used on a business card. The little blue and white boat sits waiting patiently for its owner.

Much later, I went to revisit "my" boatyard. It was totally cemented over with all the boats parked in neat rows and unwelcoming signs. I was so lucky to discover it when I did!

Remembrance -The Pink Chair Project #15 - "Wet Feet"

               

"WET FEET"

Oil on Canvas

18X24

RESERVED FOR PURCHASE (see below)

Available for delayed sale (see below)

 

The painting was done from a photo taken at the end of an awesome boat ride on a pontoon boat at Desert Lake Resort, the kind of dreamy, all the time in the world kind of day. My cousin Bill drove the boat, his wife Marnie made the lunch, and "Mom" held the towels. We looked for loons, picnicked and swam in a cove off the boat. It was a perfect day. The title of the piece came to me out of the blue and for a while I have wondered what it meant. I thought that perhaps it was because both Mom and I have suffered from painful feet, and we both would have loved having the cool water wash over them. But a gift of understanding came from Barb Bodengraven, a writer who stated in an article about me that the chairs arms were "open to whatever treasures the incoming tide will bring". Yes. That's it! My mother had experienced the joys of the day with us and took that same openness to all of the events her life would offer. She just jumped right in at every stage. Her feet were wet with life!

Mom Holding the Towels

I am now sharing my current show with my readers and daily paintworks viewers. This show is currently traveling and unreserved work will be available for purchase after the travel is completed, around mid-2014. Paintings may be held until then with a 10% down payment. E-mail me or see my pink chair project blog, for details. This piece is reserved for purchase. However, high quality giclee prints are available on paper or canvas in a range of sizes as well as blank cards with this image. E-mail me for further information.

This exhibit tells the story about painting a pink plastic Adirondack chair. The chair represents my mother, Carolyn Elizabeth Pedersen Schulte, of Rochester, NY, who passed on June 5th, 2011. She was a wonderful woman, full of love for everyone around her, and she loved this bright color pink. She was proud of me as an artist and would love what I am doing. I take the chair to favorite places of hers and to places or situations I know she would have liked. It is a way for me to grieve and to celebrate her life. I talk to her as I paint and make sure that she would want to be where the chair has been placed.

Matted "Sunlit Winter Day"

Sunlit Winter Day

10x14

Watercolor

$190

Some winter days are so beautiful, especially when you have been cooped up in the house for a while. And, sometimes, when you get to walk down the long boardwalk to the beach at Plum Island in the Parker River Wildlife Preserve, you see combinations of sunlight trees, sand dunes and grasses that are just lovely. This was one of those days. This lovely place is near Newburyport, MA, another favorite spot, and I am 25 minutes from each of them. Very lucky!

It always feels good to be painting on Cape Cod. I am hoping I can do some of that this summer. Here I am at Grays Beach, with my back to the parking lot, and I can see the lifeguard station just beyond the cedars and just a strip of the water. I like how the foreground was so warm, and I am crazy about the umbrella! 

While we're talking about Gray's Beach, you might like to click on the link. It shows the amazing long, long boardwalk there. Here is another painting I did at Gray's beach, from the Pink Chair series. This time I was in FRONT of the lifeguard stand.

"Wisps Over Flats"

"Wisps Over Flats"

plein aire painting

10x10 oil on prepared paper

floating in a wide, deep archival mat

Framed under glass with a maple contemporary frame

$360

This soft and beautiful piece was painted from the glassed in front porch of a cottage on Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine.  I just loved the flats when the tide ebbed and made unpredictible ripples in the sand, exposing treasures underneath. The ledges you see in the painting would dissapear almost entirely at high tide. The cloud patterns that morning were a perfect couterpoint to the sand shapes. What would you say? Is this a skyscape or a sea scape?
