FLUGAL FISH

Flugalfish

I had the good fortune to be able to pick up some Fabriano watercolor paper and love how it holds the color. My friend Kitty Lovell  and I decided that this lovely fish enjoys shopping at thrift stores where she happened to pick up this fabulous hat.

Take a look at Kitty’s website. She does incredible work.http://www.klovell.com/

Flugalfish is 12″ by 13″  and is framed to 18″ by 19″ in a lovely maple frame.

She is for sale for $550 and literally glows. I have a lot more Fabriano paper so I am sizing it so I can make  more paintings for August open studios.

Newport Art Museum 100th anniversary Member’s Exhibition

I have a piece in the 100th Anniversary Members Exhibition at the Newport Art Museum

This photo is from the Newport Art Museum’s Facebook page……I have a piece in this exhibit.

I had to laugh when I saw where they placed my painting. I have been called a visionary artist but I jokingly call myself an outsider artist, not because I am an outsider artist but because my work so often does not find a place in the shows. I wasn’t with the animals, I wasn’t with the fish, I was outside the galleries in the foyer.

I have been working on several new paintings but haven’t had time to properly photograph them. I will post them soon.

Although I do need a new camera desperately and hope to get one in the next few months.

I love working in my studio. Yesterday each time I looked up I saw the wind wildly making waves on the Sakonnet but the sun was shining so nicely.

Open Studios and the fish were a big hit!

Wonderful swim at the end of the day. Some nice bouncy waves.

A little seaweed. Think it is healthful to swim among the leaves.

A new drawing I am working on.

I loved making my drawing of a sole so much that I am making some fish drawings. Here is one I started yesterday.

I haven’t posted in a bit as we have been busy getting our Arlington house ready for sale. It is coming along great but we are thinking we will put it on the market in the fall as we have too much going on right now. While we prepare for a wedding and Alex going off to college, we won’t have to be at the ready to clean and evacuate the house for prospective buyers.

I loved the sole fish I painted recently and have made another one that I will post soon. I am enjoying the idea of making large sea creatures and will play with that for a bit.

Drawing and painting are such a source of satisfaction for me. I will have several new works for open studios this summer. I need to take a  class in order to really get better photos of my work. I also need a new camera and that is on my wish list.
