"SUMMER INVITATION"

4" x 6" Oil $75.00

There is an old home in my town that was saved

from razing some years ago. This is a bit of that

place and I am happy it is still here to be graced

with a porch full of summer geraniums and a place

to sit on a hot afternoon.

Beach Scene

"COLORS OF SUMMER"

4" x 6" Oil SOLD

A sort of summer still life as everyone is in the

water! Loved these chair colors which is why

I wanted to paint the scene.

The Chorus - photograph

OK, before I post all 87 shots I took this afternoon,

I will end with these girls singing out loud for you!

Quiet Corner

24" x 36" Oil

Here it is, the completed painting

that you saw in its early stages a

few posts ago. I do not like completing

my paintings because I have so much

enjoyment in the process of doing them!

I will post this on my website soon, along

with the price. If you want to know more

about that now, just contact me via this

blog.

Quintessential image of the Fourth!

OK. So I HAD to do yet one more for you of

my fourth of July in Annapolis. Didn't the flag

cooperate big-time? Just the right position and

all. It was a day when boaters of all descriptions

with their families/dogs were out on the water.

Everything from a hand-made wooden sailboat

to kayakers well into their 60s and 70s. How

neat a spectacle it was and I had a front row seat

thanks to my Sis and her husband.

Photo of my subject matter

Here is a photo of the house I painted from my last

post. What a gorgeous place. Lots of people showed

up there later in the day of the 4th for a party on

the lawn. They came in big boats and tied up at their

dock and then you could barely see the house anymore!

Across the water-Fourth of July

Did this in my watercolor sketchbook on the

4th of July. I was in Annapolis with family members

who have a lovely boat! Lucky me. Across from

where we were tied up on Spa Creek was this

gorgeous home. Tables and chairs were set up on

their lawn and soon after large boats arrived and

tied up at their dock. Guests poured out and stayed

into the evening to watch the fireworks. We did

the same thing, but from the dinghy where we

had a front row seat! Wonderful!

Flowers in a Vase

"SUMMER BOUQUET"

5" x 7" Oil Sold

Here it is all done! I have to fight the

tendency to overdo details when I love

the subject matter so much. This

irridescent bowl belonged to my parents

and I have loved it for many years.

The flowers were sent to my parents by

a friend who had the most abundant flower

garden. The flowers filled every vase they

owned - and they owned a lot!
