MECA Week-Feed You Soul -at Maine College of Art









 Just got home from a week painting in Maine. My goal was a painting a day, playing in Irish sessions (2) and sampling the local brews. I must say I accomplished them all.

Bear Rock on Phelps Brook

  I love painting rocks and moving water as well as finding bright color in the landscape. On Phelps Brook I found both. I build up the colors and textures gradually with many layers of slightly different shades of color.  18x24in pastel  on blue sanded paper
