The First One Hundred

Scolling through two hundred and forty posts to find a painting seems like a lot to ask of you. I have created a page on my website with thumbnails of the first one hundred paintings. Each thumbnail is a link to the original blog post and you can see which paintings are sold and which ones are still available.

Funny thing is that it seems like only yesterday I was painting number one.

236 First Radish

We got the vegetable garden in back before Easter. Squash is up, one hill of cucumbers, sunflowers are almost a foot tall. Green beans are just about to reach their trellis. The basils, parsleys and chives in the herb garden are providing us with fresh herbs. But most the most important plant in the garden is the radish. Matures in three weeks. The first food from the garden. Here is the first radish of the season.

235 Sunday Concert in the Park

Sunday in the Park. An afternoon concert in the open air. I have my easel and canvas set up amongst the crowd and am painting the people watching the show. This must be how the impressionists felt, outside painting people enjoying themselves.

233 Glorious Morning

Summer is here at the beach. Actually from over across the bay on the mainland, got up early and watched the sunrise over a barrier island.

Was the island uninhabited maritime forest and beach or crowded with condos and houses? Was there a marina and McDonald's or empty salt marsh with egrets and gulls?

What matters is if this little painting takes you from this electronic and artificially created world we are amidst to the reality of the natural world. To contemplate the gloriousness of the single new day which has arrived.

232 Byway Afternoon

Paints with corgi 2. Actually, this is paints with corgi 1. Painted just before the Afternoon Impression while talking a corgi into staying next to me and holding him from chasing cars.

At this point in the afternoon, the angle of the sun changes quickly, the light 0n the trees varies and you can almost see the shadows moving across the road to cover the trees.

No time to think about what you are doing, just paint. Except when I have to kneel down to hold the corgi and talk to him, keeping his attention from the passing car. ( We live on a dirt road, with slow traffic, otherwise he would have been taken back to his pen inside the fenced in yard)

231 Piglet

Yesterday in the studio, I found some photos laying nearby my small canvases. Were these suggestions for painting subjects from my wife. "That's nice." I thought as I loaded them with my easel, canvases and paints for a trip to do a painting demo at a gallery.

A later phone call, "Have you seen the photos I had next to the small canvases? I was going to work on some paintings from them"

Here is one of my results

230 Afternoon Impression

Perhaps a better title for this painting would be "Painting with a Corgi II" Not that there is a corgi anywhere in this painting. I took my easel out to paint the roses in the garden late yesterday afternoon, hoping to get some nice slanting light, but the sun had already gone below the trees that are behind our house. So off I went, through the gate and down the driveway to where the trees were still in sunlight. The first painting was started and at this time of day, the sun moves quickly what was still in light would be in shade in a matter of minutes. Not exactly speed painting, but no time to waste, just concentrating. Until the corgi showed up. One of our corgis who decided to hop through the fence and see what was happening. So rather than take him back to the yard and his pen or get a leash, I kept painting and watching him and calling him back ( he still finds many things of more interest to him than my commands) and then holding him by the collar as cars drove by.

The first painting was finished. I had two canvases with me, so I began a second one, this one. Looking back across our pasture, across a honeysuckle covered fence to an old barn and trees silhouetted by the lowering sun.

229 Down East Morning

There is a small corner of the North Carolina coast, across Core Sound from the southernmost of the Outer Banks known as "Down East" since it is east of the town of Beaufort. A string of small towns and communities among the salt marshes, you can still hear the old English accent that was also prevelant on the Outer Banks until recently.

This is a view across a bay on a morning that promises become another great day for kayaking, fishing, crabbing and just messing around on the water.
