friday

had to cancel our plein air outing today, to much going on in town this weekend. the SUMMER FESTIVAL will be on the waterfront and i feel like i need to be in my studio trying to sell some paintings. if you are in town stop in and see me.

spent the day in the studio working on a painting based on a photo that was in the washington daily news. it was of a lady at havens garden fishing for crabs with a string and a chicken neck.

this is the painting i did at bonner point in bath n c

had a great time in bath n c today will post some photos tomorrow.

friday paint out

got a little to hot in the studio today, when it gets
above 95 degrees i have to get out. this painting
of the house in the field is where i was born. it is
located in sampson co. close to clinton n c and the good part...it is still there. i painted this about 7 years ago.








this painting was one i started and posted about
a week with no color on it...now the color is on it.











as you will notice there are 2 of these photos...
i do not know how to delete in this blog yet..
this is from our last time at southside farm.
this was a good vantage point..it was in the shade
see all you guys tomorrow in bath n c ..

today i went to the civic center here in washington n c to see the anual
members show...wow what a great show---so much great art work.
i was so glad to see quite a few paintings that came from our friday morning plein air outings.. when you paint..you learn, and you get better.
and that is a great feeling.
this friday we go to bath n c to paint on bonner point. come join us...you are welcome.
