House with Apple Trees Path in Dunes Fort Hill View
The Paradis' Home - A commission of a beautiful home in Dighton, Massachusetts done in spring, while the cherry trees were in bloom.
The White's Home - A commission of a home in Berkley, Massachusetts done while the apple tree was in bloom. Dawn White grew up in this house. She was a good friend of my first cousin, Lynn McQuillan, which is how I met her. A lovely family.
Path in Dunes - Cape Cod National Seashore. My husband was smoking a cigar as we walked down this path at sunset. We were driving our old, beat-up Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser station wagon. The roar of the ocean and the cry of the seagulls...
Fort Hill View - If you ever drive down Route 6 in Eastham on Cape Cod, take a little detour on the right-hand turn to Fort Hill. If you have time, take a walk down the path.
Sunny Side Bay Side Cottage Provincetown Cottage Snowy Road
Sunny Side - This is a barn in Berkley, Massachusetts in the fall. It's across the street from the Congregational Church. I won a prize for this painting at the Newport Art Festival in Newport, Rhode Island.
Bayside Cottage - This painting was done while taking a plein-air painting workshop under the instruction of Steve Allrich.
Provincetown Cottage - This painting was done from a photograph I took while in P-town. I liked the light and the contrast of the vertical picket fence versus the horizontal clapboards of the cottage.
Snowy Road - This painting was done from the corner of Riverview Street and East Water Street, on the west bank of the Taunton River in Taunton, Massachusetts after a snowstorm.
Fluffy Friends Watching the Shadows Cape Cod Seashore Cohannet Fruit, Taunton
Fluffy Friends - This painting was done for Charlie Acorn, as a gift. He's the master carpenter who built my stairs and befriended my cat, Renoir, in the process.
Watching the Shadows - My beloved cat, Renoir, watching the schadows. Renoir was killed by coyotes.
Cape Cod National Seashore at sunset in September. The roar of the ocean...
Cohannet Fruit Store - this isn't an oil painting, but it's the only acrylic painting I had a photograph of. It's since been sold and the camera I had at the time wasn't the best. This was in Taunton, Massachusetts. The place has been torn down, but I still remember it.
Lake Champlain Making Clam Chowdah
Lake Champlain, Vermont - From Shelburne Farms. The light was beautiful, so I tried to capture it.
Making Chowdah - I was making chowdah and the light was interesting. My sister-in-law, Sue Reed, painted the design on my cutting board. Thanks, Sue!
Daffodils on Dresser - This is a painting of my bedroom in the old Queen Anne Victorian house in Taunton.
Child of Freedom - We attended an anti-tax increase rally in Boston, Massachusetts and my son fell asleep on my husband's shoulders, but never let go of the flag he was holding in his tiny hand.
