What’s The Point!
Kelly and I had a great Sunday afternoon painting at Wilson's Point Historic Site yesterday….lots of people around for the guided tours and the bagpiper!
Since I retired from the position..Kelly is the NEW Artist in Residence at the Point… but you’ll still find me painting there often!
My contribution today was this watercolour
What’s The Point
M. Graham Watercolours on 600lb. Arches 100% cotton.
Size 10 X 8 inches
(Will be available matted and framed to 14 X 11 in….At the Rockin River Kin Gallery…check out the Events Page)
Kelly and I were out painting near the Enclosure….neither of us quite got to finish as we started out quite late after having difficulty deciding on a good spot. I decided on this view of the train bridge….This was a native fishing area the last time I painted here…..but that is long gone now. The view of the bridge through the trees really captured my attention this time around. Finished in the studio.

Roadside Treasure
What's a plein air painter to do on a miserable day? Well...I picked some daisies ….and thankfully the cats left them alone ...so today was a daisy a day dear!

Miramichi Spring Blooms - (series of 6)
I started this series to try to improve my use of Gouache…an opaque watercolour. I have used it before in small measure along with my transparent watercolours but this time using it on its own. It dries extremely fast which is both a sticking point and an advantage depending on how it’s used. I loved the ability to layer from thin to thick. I found I much preferred to use the colours straight from the tube onto a stay-wet pallet as I have done for acrylics in the past….much easier to blend thicker paint as they never reconstituted well enough from a dried and then re-wet travel pallet.
