Works in Progress for October Show

Here's a few more paintings finished and ready to go to New York. 

 

The hungry deer ate all our flowers this summer!

So I'm celebrating in paint, a couple that survived! 

 

 I'm considering these two finished.

I even cleaned up the basement work area for this snap!

Small Seasonal Paintings

I've been unable to be in my studio up north recently.  Luckily, our apartment complex in Minneapolis has a nice craft room.  The Apartment Association allowed me a nifty corner in the communal space to set up an  easel.  For now, smaller space means smaller paintings. 

These are WIPs ("works in progress") and they are far from finished!

 

  

"Autumn after Rain"

 

"Spring Flower in Shower"

 

This year, brought plenty of rain and I find myself viewing lots of nature covered in transparent droplets. 

I have always loved the play of water on objects in my natural environment, as seen from previous postings, tide washed stones from the ocean and Lake Superior's shore have long attracted my attention.

 

A few will make it into the my upcoming New York exhibition called "Seasonal Details".
