It was an instant success and we've already shown the various watercolor paintings at the Newburyport Senior Center and twice at the rehab center on Low Street. The current focus is on a show at the Newburyport Art Association call "<i>Showing Off</i>" in the Laura Coombs Hills Gallery July 24-29th. The reception will be July 26 2018, 6-8pm.<br />
<br />
I'll have 2 framed paintings (7"x10" frame 14"x11") and 3 matted only paintings (7"x10" mat 14"x11").<br />

The show takes up to 3 paintings per artist plus ten wrapped paintings per artist. The show is June 9 - June 11, this year. The paintings are hung in two large barns. There are also crafts and jewelry displays in the barns and the white house on the hill. This is a fund raiser for the Greenbelt land trust which does an excellent job of protecting our beautiful fields, marshes, forests and farms.<br />
<br />
This year I have submitted the following paintings to the annual Greenbelt (Essex County's Land Trust) show taking place at the Cox Reservation 82 Eastern Avenue/Rt. 133 Essex, MA. I have also entered 10 wrapped works of art.<br />

<br />
It's nice the way the field looks very inviting. I have walked on that field many times near Maudslay State Park.<br />

The ink is put on with a Japanese pen which has a soft brush. The ink will bleed when water is added causing a shadow affect around the ink drawings. The color from the watercolors mixes with the shadow causing a gradation in color tones. The ink and paint together create the affects of the painting. The artist guides the direction of the brush while letting the materials produce a unique vision.<br />

<br />
This year the group has been invited to show some plein air
paintings during an evening reception at the Peabody Essex Museum in
Salem, MA called <a href="http://www.pem.org/calendar/event/1482-summer_breeze" target="_blank">Summer Breeze</a>.
This will be Thursday evening July 21, 2016 from 6 - 9 pm. There will
be Reggae music, food and drinks. The Newburyport Ten Plein Air Painters
will bring special easels and painting equipment for painting out
doors. We'll be there to answer questions and to tell how our group has painted together since 2000.<br />
<br />
What a fun evening we expect to have. Here is the painting I will be bringing with me to the PEM.<br />

With about 3 paintings for each of the 120 artists the morning was very busy and by 1:00 PM the walls of 2 barns were filled with beautiful paintings. Benches are cleverly used to show all bin work. Of course that meant it was time for the crafts, sculpture, pottery and jewelry to be arranged on tables.<br />
<br />
Free admission and all purchases help support Greenbelt. <br />

There are so many drifts that the snow looks like the waves at Plum Island beach just a few miles down the road. By the way, our road is so narrow from snow piled edges that it's a slow ride and then trying to anticipate cars turning the corner is very difficult. By the way, the bridge to Plum Island has been closed because of too much snow and heavy winds. <br />
<br />
As they keep telling me "this is New England" and yes, I remember lots of snow storms in winter; strong cold winds, constant snow, slippery ice and then blinding sunshine on the white covering. Skiing, skating, snow balls, snow angels and then a fire in the fireplace to warm up. Almost forgot the cup of hot chocolate. <br />
<br />
Here are two of my winter paintings. Hopefully you can see some of the beauty left after a winter snow storm here in New England. Let me know how you feel about the paintings and how your winter is going.<br />
<br />
This is a view of the marshes along Hampton, NH done in oil paints on stretched linen canvas.<br />

Woodsom Farm is an Essex national Heritage area and is owned by the town of Amesbury. A beautiful place with open fields and rolling hills. A long path to to the Powow River which is a favorite for dog walkers.<br />
<br />
Here are a few scenes rendered as grisialles at Woodsom Farm. After doing the first scene it was easy to see more possible painting designs in the landscape. It's a wonderful day of painting outdoors when new ideas for paintings keep appearing before the painter.<br />
<br />
The first scene is looking down the hill as the path curves gently by an arrangement of trees and bushes.<br />
<br />

Next a quick turn in about 90 degrees left shows these 2 trees up the sloping field. I remember the tree on the left when it was covered with green leaves. Now it's completely leafless in mid summer except for the flock of black bird which rested there. </div>

On the way back to the parking area is a wonderful view of the back of the barn plus other storage buildings. The tall trees on the right look very majestic and all the summer greenery hugs the buildings. This type of scene is repeated all over New England landscapes. </div>

Castle Inn has been displaying and selling my paintings since 2011. The work I do fits well into the beautiful Castle Inn as I hope you will agree. Below are a few photographs showing the painting <i>Spring Morning </i>which is 30" x 48" unframed. The painting is from a scene of the marsh in Rowley, MA along route 1A which is on my way to Crane Estate.<br />

The living room at the inn was being redecorated and Camilla, the Inn Keeper, wanted a large painting over the antique settee used as an accent piece. I offered to paint this piece for them and was given the freedom to choose the design and colors of the painting after discussing the plans for the redecorating of the room. See what you think of how it fits into the room. The painting is for sale and if sold I guess I would go back to the drawing board and start doing another painting.</div>
