I went looking at the spot our group has projected to paint tomorrow for our artists Breakfast club paint out and quickly painted a miniature, it's a conservation land in our town of Pepperell, we are fortunate to have a few spots like this, where it is protected for the natural habitat, Pepperell is a pretty New England town with rolling hills ,meadows and ponds and lots of forest. hope the weather will stays as nice as today, and have a good plein air day with friends .

4x6 original watercolor post card

While in Maine last week , I painted lots of post cards , they are a perfect sketches of scenes I wanted to do in a larger scale , a good way to work out your design or strategy of a painting, and fun to do!
I had to go to the dentist today , something I do not like to do, when the dentist looks in your mouth , he always finds things you do not want to know, like oh! you have bone lost, let's do a full set of X rays , all I can think , what is this going to cost me ? but he is a very nice dentist and knows I only go when I really have to.

Full Moon over the bay Sold
The rain much needed came today, the flowers need it , but it sure made a dreary day , a great day to paint after my morning cleaning . Clancy was asleep all day a bit depressed after Bosley left yesterday , that is my son's dog , I was watching him all week, they had played so much during the week both young and full of energy ,of course they are like kids ,you have to watch them every minute , one time Bosley got a hold of a yellow tube of oil paint ,he had it all over his face and paws ,that was a job cleaning him !

oil 5x7 . it is so beautiful when the moon is over the water.

The lonely cottage
I have spent the last two days traveling from one gallery to the other , bringing new art work .
both places to be in New Hampshire , I live on the Border , so most of my Art connections are in New Hampshire, my husband came with me for the Sunday ride going to Portsmouth , all the politicians were there!. trying to convince the public who is the best.
On our way home we took the coast road , I always look for new scenes on the coast and the sun was going down when I came upon some beautiful lobster boat in the harbor , I really want to paint them.
This is another one of my lonely houses ,
