Painting The Airport Barrier

I am taking a departure on this blog from showing you just one of my paintings by showing you a photo of me painting the barrier at the Cape Cod Airport in Hyannis. I received notice three weeks ago on the internet asking artists to submit an entry of a painting with the same proportions as the barrier which is 33" x 10'. My small painting which you can see to the right of my barrier painting was one of the winning entries. This is the first time that I have painted a mural. In the background is another winning entry painted by Charles Munro.The other two artists, Carolyn Weston-Patkowski and Gayle Mckennon, hadn't started yet when this picture was taken. We painted in the wind and the rain but at least it wasn't too cold. I understand that mural art is catching on at airports around the world.

Breakwater Landing

Breakwater Landing
This watercolor was done as a demo at my gallery during our "Fall for The Arts" series sponsored by the Arts Foundation to promote The Arts and Artisans Trail Guide.
This guide sells at all of our studios and art galleries featured in the guide plus many bookstores for $9.95. Breakwater Landing is a town beach past Breakwater Beach at the end of Breakwater Road . I like the spot because I can also paint from my Vanagon without getting out of the car. But this watercolor was from a photo I took . I told the people that were watching that I would publish the finished painting on my Blog. I painted another painting at the same time , a view of Paines Creek . I will show you that one two. The image size of each is 10" x 14" and when framed they will each be 18" x 20"
