Day 18 - Caumsett Fisherman's Road

Fisherman's Road, Caumsett
Watercolor, 6" x 6"

I wore many hats today. Graphic design, mermaids and a little reading and practicing from Joyce Hick's book, Painting Beautiful Watercolor Landscapes. I squeezed this painting in as part of the practice. 
scraping in (top), and wet/wet with a little damp and dry details.

Day 6 - Caumsett Spring

Day 6 - Caumsett Spring
6" x 6", pastel on uart paper

Caumsett State Park is an amazing jewel on Long Island's north shore. Acres of woodlands, meadows, and a formal garden make it a wonderful place to spend an afternoon in all seasons. Hundreds of birds and all sorts of wildlife call this park home. 
I took the reference picture for this last spring.

Day 18 - 30/30 Challenge - Fishermen's Road, Pencil Sketch

Fishermen's Road, Caumsett   Pencil on paper, approx 8.5 x 8.5

Life is busy! Life is good! But not much time for painting this week, though I am trying to make the effort. A new job, and juggling freelance work has left me with not a lot of time.

Today I only had about 20 minutes (30 if you count the time I need to make this post), so I decided to just pick a random photo and draw it. In pencil. Black and white.  This is from a photo taken at Caumsett State Park along the "fishermen's road." Maybe I'll even paint it - someday!

Though many of these paintings won't be for sale right away (or even for sale at all), I'd like to direct you to my Etsy page where I'm having a little sale. This is the final week!

Please consider purchasing a painting because, a. Christmas is coming, and these little 6x6s really make nice gifts, and/or b. the mermaid needs to buy some picture frames for the big solo show and selling a couple of these little guys would be a BIG help!


I'd also like to suggest that you sign up on the right side of this page for emails (not every day), and the follow button to get notifications when this blog is updated (for this month nearly every day, most times, not so much).
