My Winter Block Island Experience

Time well spent recently on Block Island. The seals are back and I love to spot them sunning themselves on the rocks along the shallow waters. It almost seems as though they are just as fascinated with me as I am with them. A nice break from my studio.

Girasoli II

I am currently working on a series of paintings for an invitational event at the Providence Art Club. The event is being hosted by the "National Organization of Italian American Women". Naturally I have reflected upon my own Italian heritage, experiences and time spent in Italy to prepare for this show. Sunflowers (girasoli) always bring me back to my childhood and my Italian household. Time spent outside planting the sunflower seeds in the garden with my father and watching the plants grow right before my eyes, just like something out of Jack and the Beanstalk. As fall approached, the big flower heads would start to dry and birds would cling to them while filling their bellies with the seeds to fuel them for the migration they would soon face............ More postings of my Italian paintings later this week.

Well this is the last in the series of the "children on their summer vacation". I will miss painting them and I might just revisit this series in the near future. It was a really nice break from painting landscapes. I am now building up my inventory for my studio for our Holiday Open Studio Sale as well as the little picture show at the Providence Art Club. I just love to paint.

I am having so much fun painting these children. They are siblings and I happened upon them while taking photos at the beach. They were just soooo cute that I had to paint them. Still to come is the oldest brother of the two children already posted so check back in a few days.

His Blue Tube - side view

Side view of "His Blue Tube". Painting on these deep canvases are so much fun. I love to view them from the side like in this photo. The painting literally wraps around the canvas if kept unframed. But, if you prefer to frame it a floater frame is a perfect choise because it still allows for the sides to be seen.

Palmer River

I painted this scene of the Palmer River in Barrington, RI on three 16x16 inch linen canvases, together making a triptych. The river is named after Walter Palmer, one of the founders of Rehoboth MA. and consists of two separate branches, the east and west. The two branches start separately in Rehoboth and also converge in Rehoboth. It then runs about 11 miles south through Swansea before entering Barrington and Warren at which point it spills into the Barrington River. It is a a visual splendor with all of it's in and outs of marshes interlocking with the water's edge like pieces of a puzzle. A great river to kayak or to view from the East Bay Bike Path. This was my first triptych and I enjoyed painting it so much that I am presently working on another.

It always baffles me to find trees growing out of a crack in a rock. So little space, so little soil and yet enough to sustain life. We hiked the Boulder Loop Trail in the White Mountain National Forest of NH to access the ledges. It was a 3 or so mile, easy to moderate hike. We were rewarded at the top with some outstanding mountain views.

This painting is of a scene from one of my favorite places in RI. It is called Caratunk and is a wildlife refuge thanks to the Greenhalgh family. It is a place which I visit often to enjoy the scenery, quietness and wildlife. I capture the moment with either photographs or quick field sketches and return to my studio to paint while the experience is still fresh in my mind. During this particular visit we saw a buck and four female deer. This painting can be viewed in my studio at The Providence Art Club, Providence, RI.
