Series of 4 Plein Air Paintings Transforms an Old Boat into a See-Worthy Craft.

I just delivered 18 new paintings to Greenleaf Gallery at the Outer Banks (Duck, North Carolina) for the opening of their new season. The gallery opens on March 20, so stop in and enjoy the show.

The Boatyard (left) is one of three I did en plein air several weeks ago. Since I don’t usually paint boats, I enjoyed the challenge of this change in venue.  I made several charcoal studies before I began to paint. With these I reduced the myriad of boat details to abstract patterns.

I am pleased to have a painting in the Juried Show at E. W. Poore in Manchester, New Hampshire. The show runs from March 17 - April 18. A reception is March 26 5-7 pm. Click on images to view enlargements.

My painting titled Magic Mountain was inspired by a painting trip in the North Woods along the Magalloway River. I painted in pastel on that trip several years ago and made this oil in the studio this month. Painting it felt as if I were still there!
