A Little Gouache Painting

s o l d

Here's a small (7" x 7") gouache painting I'm working on. It's from my recent trip to France, but isn't anyplace in particular. Rather, this is a compilation of several different images in the town of Richerenches.

What is gouache? It's a highly pigmented, opaque cousin of watercolor. Fun to use!

Look Out! iPad painting

Beacon Hill Art Walk

Despite having forgotten to send my application and fee in March, I was again part of the annual Beacon Hill Art Walk. I shared a beautiful backyard garden spot with the artist Danny O and his sidekick, Nick. My daughter, Sarah, assisted me. Here's the ribbon I won.

Saturday's Paint Out!

This Saturday I'll be joining a group artists in the Merrimack Valley, painting en plain air during the day, and auctioning off those paintings in the evening. Other exciting items will be auctioned off as well, by everyone's favorite weatherman/auctioneer, Matt Noyes! The event benefits the Essex Art center in Lawrence, MA.

Two exciting upcoming events!

Saturday, June 2: Once again, I'll be spending the day painting a scene somewhere in the Merrimack Valley, to be auctioned off that evening at a wonderful, catered fundraising gala. What a great opportunity to bid on an original painting by one of the 30 artists participating.
For more info or to buy tickets to the auction, go here: essexartcenter.com/newpaint

Sunday, June 3: I'll be exhibiting in the annual Beacon Hill Art Walk — one of my favorite shows. Stroll through the beautiful, hidden back yards and gardens of Beacon Hill, while taking in the fine art offerings of the artists participating in this juried event. My location will be posted here later. For more info, go here: beaconhillartwalk.org.

Hope to see you!
