Applecrest Orchard

"English Canal", 11 by 14 inches, oil pastel, on watercolor paper.

This one won't be framed in time to join my art exhibit at the Applecrest Orchard, in North Hampton, NH tomorrow and Sunday.

I will set up my pavilion with about 20 paintings and a large number of Giclee Prints.

This is all part of the Applecrest Orchard's Peach Festival. Perhaps they will have some peach cobbler for me.

T33

My T33. My advanced trainer of 50 years ago. I finally got around to painting the aircraft.

10 by 10 inch image, acrylic on 140 pound watercolor paper.

Exeter, NH Art Fair

Painting of the fountains in Prescott Part. Some Artistic License taken. 11 by 14 inch acrylic on canvas panel.

I will be showing my original art and a number of giclee prints at the Exeter, NH art fair this Saturday. I was late signing up for the fair and the only spot left was inside. So I'll be showing my art inside of the old townhall, on the stage. Alas I'm probably the only artist who will be showing inside at an outside fair.

I'm like the old joke of the guy who brings a knife to a gun fight.

My Review of Fargo Portfolios

Originally submitted at Jerry's Artarama Art Supplies

Many artists don't want to purchase expensive portfolios but want a rugged, good looking case that they can load up with supplies and travel with. Made out of 600D denier nylon fabric, these portfolios will go far due to their fine construction and stitching. Each case includes a FREE hard...

At Jerry's prices, these were outstanding values. I did remove the masonite insert and replaced it with a slightly smaller cardboard stiffener which allows me to place two framed painting facing the softer cardboard. With the larger masonite stiffener I only could get one framed piece in the carrier and the molding had to face outward making it more suseptible to damage. I now have many of these portfolios and only have two paintings in each making it easier to carry my paintings to art fairs. I have some carriers that would hold five or six paintings but that was getting to be too much for this old back. I am very happy with this product.

Art Fair

I will be setting up my art tent in New Castle, NH this Saturday for their annual arts and crafts fair. (God willing and the Thunder storms hold off)

I will be showing about 20 original paintings and numerous giclee prints. I will be showing more smaller original art this summer.

Please stop by and say hi.

I have purchased many of these 7 color basic sets. I'm a strong believer in limited palettes and this basic set allows me to mix any color needed in landscapes, marine art or in any other subject matter I choose to paint. In adding subsequent layers of paint over an underpainting the lower layer colors don't bleed into the new layer as they will with regular gouache. Yes I'm a fan of this product. This basic set is an incredible value, especially for artists who paint with a limited palette as did many past and current masters.

The Helmsman

I've always admired the statue in Gloucester, MA dedicated to the fishermen who have gone down to the sea in ships and I've wanted to do a painting based on that statue. This is my interpretation inspired by that statue.

It's an Oil Pastel, 11 by 14 inches on an archival canvas panel.
