North Haven

Below are recent paintings from my residency on North Haven Island, Maine. Completed in early June, these paintings record the rise and fall of this tidal cove.

In the coming months, I will be participating in a show at the University of New Hampshire's Museum of Art. ReView: Recent work by UNH Alumni, will hold its opening reception on Friday, January 28th, 5-7pm and will be on view until April 2011.

Turning indoors, I have been working from still life. Below is a series of collage drawings created from one full size drawing which was the study for this painting.

Outdoor Painting

Towards the later part of October into November and December I spent time painting outside on canvases ranging from 2.5' square to 3' x 4.5'. These paintings were completed in Portland, Maine, Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Bristol Maine

Towards the middle of October, my graduate class visited our professor John Walker's home in Bristol, Maine. For the full week, we painted outdoors in the sun, rain and fog. It was a wonderful experience and I feel as a result, my painting became more loose and color specific.

New Work

I began this semester in the studio by painting from summer paintings on larger canvas. Below are three images which are painted loosely from summer studies.






While working on the large scale paintings, I decided I needed to work from life again. I began to paint from quilts made towards the end of last summer.
