"Are We There Yet?"

 A painting I finished this winter reminds me of drives with my family, when we would occasionally hear that familiar refrain "Are we there yet?"  There are hills and valley to cover in this piece, before arriving at the destination in the far distance.  Maybe it's a summer cottage?  Maybe a resort in the north?  Maybe Grandma's house?  Your imagination can fill in the blank.  This painting is quite large, 2 feet by 3 feet, and will soon be travelling to the Southampton Arts Centre.

Workshop Paintings that worked!

 Most of the time, paintings we work on during a course or workshop are just for learning, not for progressing to a finished, signed piece.  But after taking Cheryl O's course last year I actually ended up with paintings I was very pleased with!  I  have posted a couple of others, and here are two more, now hanging at the Southampton Gallery.  I'm late posting them by several months, but I still wanted to share this different style that I had so much fun with!  The composition involved a high horizon, and an unusual perspective, as well as some abstract and geometric shapes.
