At the Giant

Happy first day of summer!  Life has been hectic and I haven't been in the studio lately.  I did challenge myself to a short plein air painting session-- and this oil sketch is the result.  (The giant refers to the Sleeping Giant State Park-- this stream is at its western border.)

Blue Heron

Some friends just purchased a beach house called (guess here);  answer: The Blue Heron Beach House! It got me thinking about something other than still lifes.  I am going to ask if there is room for this in their new digs. (And does anyone use the expression digs anymore?)

Orange Block with Lemon

These vintage building blocks were also picked up at Brimfield last month.  They are too cute and for some reason, fun to hold.  When I set this up, I loved the way the round edge of the lemon was echoed by the concave shape in the orange building block.

Thanks everyone who attended the opening and/or visited the show which has just concluded.  It was great fun.
