Cat Tails-Oil 5 x 7

Cat Tails- Pastel 5 x 7
Yesterdays effort in the two paintings a day.  I really love the painterly quality of the pastel.  I am much more comfortable in this medium than with the oil.  Thus the exercise!

Cape Dunes Original Oil 5 x 7

Ok......the last for today.  I have been painting the sea shore lately and once again this is part of the two paintings a day series.

Rhetta's Blue Pot

 Rhetta's Blue Pot - Pastel

Rhettas Blue Pot -Oil

More in the two paintings a day series.  The original reference was a watercolor done En Plein Air.
Both paintings are 5 x 7. One pastel and the other oil

Unbridled Power

Another of the two paintings a day series.  The first is an oil and the second is a pastel.  This has been a wonderful exercise and after almost a month I do see progress!

Two Paintings a day!

My New Year's resolution for my art was to do two small paintings per day, one in pastel and one in oil.
These paintings are 5 x 7.  I am hoping that this will allow me to become a more accomplished painter in both mediums.  Occasionally, I have even done a watercolor of the same subject.

Back of the Barns

Working my way around the property at Moulton Farm. A wealth of material in these old farm buildings.
These are plein air paintings. Done on site at the farm.  Back of the Barn is 12 x 12 original oil on linen panel.
Refueling 8 x 20 original oil on cotton panel.

The Barns at Moulton Farm

Moulton Farm is a treasure for the plein air painter.  A working farm in Meredith, NH, it has been my go to spot for the last several Mondays.  I am working my way around the back side of the barns with no end of material in sight. The property will make for a wonderful series of work done in all seasons.  The paintings pictured above are oils done on 5 1/2 x 14 canvas panels.
