~2010 Paintings~

Hard to believe another year has passed.  I tried to put a little variety in my art this year. These are a few of the paintings done in 2010.

"Beethoven's Fifth"

A painting done on YUPO; the notes sound out "da-da-dum".

"Camden Hills"

Painted from a photo I took while traveling through Maine.
  This is Camden Hills State Park.

"Seeing Stars"

I wanted to do something a bit whimsical with a marine life theme.

"Old Tennessee Barn"

When I was traveling through Tennessee I saw this rusted old car
 next to the weathered old barn.
It was a scene just crying out to be painted.  It took a long time to get
the nerve up to attempt this...

"Tide Rushing In"

I've spent many days sitting on the beach watching the waves
wash in.  The Gulf waters, on the best days, are this
beautiful shade of cobalt teal.

"Venice Theater"

In June, the Venice Theater hosted the International Theater Festival.
Theater groups from all over the world participated.
  Quite an honor for our small town. 

"Carmel Bay"

This scene was shown over and over during the Pebble Beach Golf Tournament.
I sketched it while watching 4 days of golf.

"View from the Acropolis"

This basilica can be viewed from the Acropolis in Athens.
The painting was a request from my sister.

"Mulkiteo Lighthouse"

I have another sister who collects lighthouses.  She also has a goal to see every lighthouse
in the US.  This is one that she saw on their tour of the Northwest.

My file of "possible painting" ideas keeps getting bigger and bigger, so I must get busy...........

Happy New Year!
