Summer Sailing Curtis Island Light SOLD

                                 Summer Sailing  6"x8" 

This location is in a town called Camden, Maine. Curtis Island Light guides boats coming into Camden Harbor. All kinds of boats can be seen in the summer coming and going from large passenger schooners to the smallest of sail boats and kayaks.

Tea Roses SOLD

Tea Roses 6"x8" oil on panel SOLD!

 

These are my favorite cups from my still life shelf. I go to second hand shops and look for diner dish wear. I like the sturdy shapes and the down home feel they have. Wouldn't this be great for a breakfast nook wall. I can see the morning sun splashing across the table and smell something good cooking in the kitchen right now.

                                                                   $195.00 unframed

I wanted another day of flower painting as an antidote to this winter weather. This may become a yearly tradition because I am having fun with this! I have several flower gardens in my yard that I have been nurturing for about 25 years. Every year I try something new. These Peonies are very hardy here in Maine and I love them every year when they return.

Garden Table for Two SOLD

                                
                                  Garden Table for Two  6"x6" oil on canvas panel $95.00  SOLD

I am continuing the garden theme with today's painting. I think I really need the color right now! Today I also decided to work with a limited  palette. Three colors plus white.
This looks like a cozy corner to enjoy a visit with a good friend, share some food, drink and fun.
Let's go!!

My shop www.etsy.com/shop/sdolanart .  If you scroll down to the bottom of my blog page you can also see a link to the Etsy shop. It is called an Etsy mini. I can't figure out how to bring it up to the top of the page where I want it. Any suggestions on that?

Enchanted Garden SOLD

                                                Enchanted Garden 6"x8" oil on panel

I decided to continue with the garden theme today. It is -5 degrees here and we are expecting our 3rd snow storm so I thought I would take temporary refuge inside this garden I photographed last summer. Ahhh.... Pass the lemonade.

                                         

And now back to reality. Here is a photo taken near my house in the last few days. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words and you can see what I mean. Pass the wood for the stove please!

.Thanks for stopping by today and I always welcome any comments!

Happy New Year Sunflowers SOLD!

New Year Sunflowers 6x8 oil on panel

 Happy New Year all. It has been very cold and snowy here in Maine and I thought it would be a good time for some bright sunflowers. I will be adding more paintings too so stay tuned. 2014 is going to be a great year. I am so excited to have my new shop up and going. Thank you so much for stopping by and please have a look at my new shop and tell me what you think.

Acadia National Park Late Fall SOLD

                                  
                                            Acadia Late Fall  12x16 oil on Ray Mar panel


I love going to Acadia National Park in the late fall. It is not very crowded. When you drive into the Sand Beach parking lot there might be four other cars there.

                                       

                                                                 The beach is quiet.

                                           

You might even get to see some wildlife.

This one makes me smile.

I  had several shows in the month of October. I am also working on a new web site. I will let you know when it  is done.  In the mean time I did get to Acadia to paint this plein air painting. It was so nice to get out and have a chance to do this!
