BAY FARM COBWEBS

Also at Bay Farm, there were so many really pretty cobwebs in the grasses in the field. Again, it was very early a.m., and the lighting was beautiful. I couldn't choose, so I posted all of them.

BAY FARM SUNRISE

Went to Bay Farm on Saturday morning to photograph the sunrise. It was low tide, and the sunrise was beautiful. An egret stood there the whole time posing for us. After the sun comes up, it casts a beautiful orange/gold glow on the trees and rocks on the shore.

SAILING ON DUXBURY BAY

This was a beautiful day that I just had to paint. I love living near the beach!

NEW PAINTINGS - JUNE 2010

I've been in my studio a lot these days. Here are some pastels that I recently painted. I'm trying to get away from "trees" for awhile and trying something new. As you can see, I'm sort of succeeding. Out of my comfort zone has been my theme lately.

RED-TAILED HAWK

I was at the fruit stand taking pictures when my friend spotted this hawk. Just as I saw him, he took off, and I swung my camera around to catch a photo. This is the best I could do, but I like that you can still see the strength in his wings and legs, so I saved the photo.

RECENT PAINTINGS - WAYLAND & DUXBURY

Here are 3 pastel paintings that I did recently. The snow scene is from a walk in the Duxbury woods, and the other two paintings are from Wayland. The weather is starting to warm up, and I'm anxious to get out and take some more photos in the spring.

AUTUMN AT WAYLAND

Inspiration is flowing since a painting weekend at Wayland last October. We took so many wonderful pictures to use as references and can't stop painting from them. The feeling that we had during that weekend still exists every time I get involved in one of my paintings.
