Kethro Point

 Kethro Point (waterside of French Fort Cove) Oils - 5 X 7 in.  Myself and a couple of friends from the Plein Air Miramichi group went out to paint en Plein air. A beautiful day …but quite a bit of wind. I choose a sheltered spot looking through the trees toward the river

Summer Fun

 Here’s a couple of small works from last week. ( click for larger photo)

A sketch done on location at the camp..I found a quiet shady corner, enjoying a a view of some trees by the edge of a high bank near the Bartibog river…on a breezy warm day. I was attracted by the shift of light and shadows. I just used some hard pastels for this one in a pastel sketch book ..about 5 X 7 in

This next one, a watercolour on 600lb. Arches paper …5X 7 in. Was done on location at Wilson’s Point Historic Site during their annual Scottish picnic. There were about 6 artists working there during the event….lots of music, food and fun to be had. …A very warm day…so I took refuge in a shady spot near the little replica church. (Click to enlarge)

Laura’s Lily Pond -Oils

 An annual gathering of artist friends in the beautiful garden of another artist…produced this Plein air Oil painting - 5 X 7 in. What could be greater fun than painting with friends in a beautiful garden on a summer’s day! This year I choose her new Lily Pond.

Middle Island Plein Air

 A fun outing with friends on a little Island not far from Chatham, Miramichi. I’ve wanted to do this little summer scene for quite awhile. It’s a well used spot in the summer…but my painting being only 5 X 7 in, I felt it too small to add any figures.

Here’s a tiny postcard watercolour I painted on the beach on the Bartibog River a couple of weeks ago, using my little watercolour kit.
