3rd Place

I received the 3rd place ribbon for watercolors at the South Bay Art Association's Member's Show this past weekend. I was rather excited.

Ralph's Italian Ices

The other night my friend, Susan, wanted to paint Ralph's Italian Ices in Patchogue. I'm always up for painting something colorful. The stand in the back of a parking lot with spaces facing in right in front of it. We put our chairs in the space for the best view, and then I parked my car right behind our chairs so nobody would come zipping into the space and run us over. It worked perfectly! This is 4 x 6.

Fantasy Flowers

This was painted the other night at Fantasy Flowers, a nursery in Patchogue. They really had the best flowers!!! This is 5 x 7.

Susan's Poppies

Yesterday morning my friend, Susan, invited me over to paint the poppies in her garden in Patchogue. They were just beautiful with some of their heads facing the sun and some bashful and shy facing downward. The colors were just wonderful!!! Her garden has so manyinteresting spots to paint. If I lived there I would be outside all day painting. Many, many thanks for sharing your treasured spot and your company with me, Susan.

Rhodies

This was done at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum the same day as I painted the wisteria. This is 4 x 4.

Wisteria on the Porch

This was painted in plein air on Saturday at the Bayard Cutting Arboreum in Great River. I was afraid I had missed the wisteria in bloom, and it is so beautiful there at that time of year. This is 5 x 7.

Northport Charm

Yesterday I did some plein air painting with my friends, Susan and Roseanne. We went to Northport which had some really beautiful houses. This was one of my favorites. The painting is 5 x 8.
