On the Rocks, Fisher's Island, New York

 This painting was created on a day trip my husband and I took to Fisher's Island, NY. It was a perfect day in September. The island was very quiet and we spent all day near the water. Dean fished and I painted.

Madison Farm

This painting was painted on a very hot day in July. The only place one could paint without melting was under the big oak trees that were scattered throughout the farm. It was even too hot for the horses to come out of their stalls. But the chickens seemed to carry on their business, clucking and chatting with each other as scurried around nibbling on grain and such.

The Art Lesson - Thimble Island. Branford, CT

this painting was created during a three-day workshop on the Thimble Islands with Bob Noreika. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. Sunny with a slight breeze. On the third day, we were at the tail end of Governor's Island. I love to paint and sketch my fellow artists as they work. For the most part, they stay still and they're concentrating so much on their own work, they have no idea I'm painting them.
