Fire Island Walkway

This Tuesday the PALS plein air group met at Robert Moses State Park to paint the Fire Island Lighthouse or the surrounding area. I can always find a new spot to sit and paint. This is 8 x 10.

Helen's Field

I love finding fields filled with color. This was done en plein air last week at Helen's Flower  Farm in Riverhead. I asked if I could paint the field and she told me to paint it now, cause it was going to be plowed under after the weekend. This is about 4 x 12.

Floral Challenge from Wet Canvas

This month on Wet Canvas there was a challenge to put birds of paradise into an "art neuveau" setting. This was something new for me to try, and the host, Katherine was very convincing. This is my contribution and it is 5 x 7. I'm happy with the way it came out.

Susan's Garden

My friend, Susan, has an amazing garden and invited me to come and paint there. The poppies and the irises were in bloom.
