Unheard Of! #537

Painting outside ALL day in November ON the water at The Glades and not being the least bit cold? I've never! We had a phenomenal day - it was warm, the sunlight beautiful - the company tremendous, the day went by in a flash -

If you haven't heard me rave about the Glades before - it's a piece of land at the end of Scituate and only the descendants of John Quincy Adams inhabit it. It's an untouched, unspoiled piece of land with beautiful old buildings, I know I've painted this barn before but I did it again - I'm trying to figure out the mystery of painting good whites, ever since I started the sheep, so I couldn't resist this sunlit building. I took a TON of photos too, I cannot wait to download them. But first, it's time to go to a friend's down the street, as soon as I wash the paint off my hands!

Other News: Brie is having another slumber party at my parents', tune in tomorrow to find out what piece of furniture she tried to sleep on top of this time (things that go bump in the night).

More News Still: There's an opening tomorrow (Sunday, 5-7) at Bella's in Rockland. Work by the fabulous Kelley MacDonald and Sally Dean will be on display.

Lastly: the Holiday Sale at the North River Arts Society continues through Sunday.

Other Weather #455

I love a rainy day. I do. Particularly when I have photos of a sunny day. So, I painted from a photo again - this is the Glades. . .

Day Trip: The Glades #393

I couldn't sleep last night I was too excited. I recently opened my inbox to the most gracious invite from one of the inhabitants of the Glades to come on over and paint for a day. . . I wasted no time. . . today was the day. . . It's just so beautiful, unspoiled with expansive ocean views and beautiful fields of grass. Even the parking spot has an ocean view!

I did three little paintings of the red barn while I was there today . . .I'll post one painting today and live with the other two for a while.

Some daily painters paint more than a painting a day. And so do I, but the painting I post on the blog is always done that same day, for better or worse. . . If I'm having a bad painting day I might wait until the next day to post the bad one w/one that hopefully turns the corner a bit. . . sometimes it takes me three paintings to get one I am comfortable posting. Other days, they paint themselves and some days, I consider letting Brie paint! But today, was a good day!
