Some newer 2011 paintings...





















Here are a few more paintings I finished recently.

The smallest is 9 x 12 and is a view from the bridge in Mine Falls, Nashua, NH on a cloudy day. (By the way, the painting of the swan in my earlier post was also a view at Mine Falls.)

The other three oil paintings here are all 11 x 14 and are scenes from Plum Island, Massachusetts (where the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge is): 2 different views of waves, and another view looking out over a bog that had many different shades of green.

Since my last post I became a juried member of the New Hampshire Art Association. Yesterday I participated in an outdoor art show for the first time (on the Amherst town commons), and got a lot of positive feedback. Although it was the best weather we've had in at least a week (i.e. the sun was out), I didn't get a chance to go for a bike ride...Maybe later in the week.

My next planned paintings will be of the gardens at Beaver Brook in Hollis, NH.
