The Maine Event

This Friday, May 2nd is the opening of a group show:  The Maine Event - Visions of coastal Maine through the eyes of 8 Colorado Springs artists.  Last fall, 8 artists and friends and family members, 16 of us total, headed to Maine to paint, etc.  We spent several days in the Rockland/Rockport area and more time out on Monhegan Island.  The show comprises our plein air and studio pieces.  For those of you who live locally, I hope you can get to the opening.  If not, please stop by the Boulder Street Gallery 206 North Tejon, Colorado Springs sometime during the month of May.  Thanks!

I bought these earlier this week at Costco.  They had such a great selection that I couldn't resist.  At this altitude, 6000 feet, we can have a frost any time before Mother's Day.  So, I'm carrying them in and out each night so that they don't freeze.  The plan was to paint them out on the deck, but it's been so windy the past two days, that this became a studio set up.

And yet another painting for a baby shower!  These are so much fun to paint!

Please let me know if you'd like me to paint something for a baby that you know!...or are soon to know.

This little guy is for a baby shower.  I had so much fun painting him!  I'm doing another one which I'll post soon.
Even though he's taken, please let me know if you'd like something for a baby gift!  I'd be happy to paint a gift for you, or someone special.  I can use your toys or mine.

Colorado Springs Airport

I recently hung artwork at the Colorado Springs Airport.

Hope those of you who are flying in and out have a chance to see the work by all of the artists.

  The art is hanging in a new location:  near the baggage claims.

 This display is through June, when another group of artist will rotate through.

And, yet, another piece from our trip to the Yucatan.  I love that area: the people, the colors, the light.   The light and wall colors created such beautiful shadows dancing across the surface.

I loved all of the tropical colors in the water in Mexico.  When we got to Merida, the capital city of Yucatan, there were so many buildings painted the same bright, tropical colors as the water!  Other buildings were painted the colors of bright tropical flowers.  The colors, the architecture and old colonial buildings, and the heavy Mayan influence made Merida a wonderful city to visit.

And one more from my water/sea series.  I've loved painting these and know I'll paint more later, or sooner.  And, I'm already looking forward to our next tropical trip!  But, on to something different.

As you can see (sea), I am continuing with my water series from our recent trip to Holbox Island, Yucatan, Mexico.  One day we had a powerful rain.  The streets (of sand) were filled with huge puddles for several days.  Afterwards the water was dark and turbulent, which makes for more paintings!
