mccotters marina

had a good time with painting buddies today.

a little bit on the cool side,but not bad. was good to see nancy and linda out with us crazy men.

we got to see the boatyard move a very large cruiser back into the water.

i am going to start posting on this site where we will be painting each week that should help alone with the e_mail.....later

mcotters marina

art

brown library

this past friday us plein air painters including dodi, bob carr, pete and myself all went to brown library to paint.

the weather was great..had a good time. bob carr and myself are planning an outing down to dinahs landing this coming tuesday morning, if anyone wants to tag alone just give me a call.

night painting

every now and then i have to try something different, this time a night scene. we all get stuck in a rut sometimes and the way out is to try something totally different.... it might not work.

hell, half the paintings i do , don't work. a painter i know who is very good at this and makes a lot of money will tell you that only about 30% of what he paints is worthy of sale

the main thing is to get out there and paint, it might not work today, but tomorrow will be the day for the masterpiece....later

brown library

had a great time today painting with bob carr and pete at the brown library. one of the ladies on the block came out and invited us to take a break and sit on her porch, but we declined because, as you know we were so dedicated to the painting we were working on.

all in all it was a great day.

this painting was taken from a photo that was in a maz. that my wife had and i though it looked like a warm summer morning in the south.

until next time....

hurricane painting

this past weekend i went over to mcotters marina to see the damage from hurricane"irene". wow they still have a mess, i took some photos with the intent of doing two or three paintings.

after doing one of the boat damage i decided i did not want to another.

the other painting is the only one this week that i was satisfied with.

there are a couple of good art shows in town this week, one at the n c esturium with john hanley

and the other at the civic center.

hope all the guys and girls will come out this week for our friday plein air outing.
