"Cherries from Chile"

Cherries are my favorite fruit. They remind me of the beginning of summer
and the anticipation of  enjoying the long days at the beach.
The local market had them just before Christmas.
So we have been enjoying this mid-winter treat from Chile and
contemplating the warm weather to come!

"Salt Water Taffy Trio"

Salt water taffy is synonymous with the Jersey Shore
where it is a traditional summertime treat.
Sold in candy shops on the boardwalk in all New Jersey
shore towns, it got its name in the 1880's when a candy
store was flooded with salt water and the taffy candy
was offered for sale as"salt water taffy".
The name stuck and today it is still marketed under the
name "salt water taffy".

Here is a finished painting for the fundraiser.

it warmer and took  the yellowness out of
the sails.

"Sunrise on Beach Avenue"

This is a street scene in Beach Haven that I started a
few months ago and just finished yesterday. It was painted
on gessoed board which I do like working on.  I've
been working on some larger pieces so I haven't been
posting.

Update: This painting received a Judge's Choice Award
at Pine Shores Art Association's Annual Spring Art  Show.
The show was judged by Paige Roberts.

"Tuckerton Marina"

I did a plein air workshop yesterday with

Michael Budden.  We painted at a Tuckerton
NJ marina on the edge of the New Jersey
Pine Barrens.The weather was beautiful but
slightly windy so I couldn't use my umbrella.

The class spread out around the marina
to pick a view to paint.  I chose this little
white building on the other side of the creek
to avoid trying to paint a complex scene with
boats and multiple buildings. I just wanted to
concentrate on capturing the light and color
of the scene.  The water may look a little
dark but I feel it accurately portrays the color
of the water as the creeks in the area are
naturally tea-colored and called "cedar water".

I am definitely going to go back there as
there are many interesting local scenes to paint.

"Jadite Cup"

 

This is a jadite coffee cup from my cupboard at the 

beach.  It is one of those heavy glass restaurant cups.

It is my favorite - it's so indestructible and has a 

substantial feel.  I can only imagine the old time diner 

that it was used in.  I miss those old diners.  There is 

one on the island in Barnegat Light called Mustache Bills.  

I'm going to try painting the inside of it this summer.

"Pear-aerial View"

I painted this awhile ago and am posting it today.  It
is an aerial view of pears. Sort of reminds me of a
landscape plan.

"Spring Beauty"

This is one of my favorite spring bulbs that bloomed in

my garden this weekend.  The latin name is Scilla Siberica

also known as Spring Beauty.  It blooms early spring right 

after the crocus and is a beautiful clear blue. 

"Morning Tea"

I thought I would try something shiny and reflective today
so I used this vintage silverplate creamer along with the teapot.

"40's Kitchen"

I gathered some of my favorite vintage kitchen items for
this.

"THREE AMIGOS"

"Noreaster Afternoon Tea"

Here is one I did on Saturday during that nor'easter

I used my new brushes and canvas
boards.
