And yet another road painting from my Saturday drive to Boothbay. In this one, the tree on the left caught my attention and begged me to paint it. How could I refuse?

Another scene from Saturday's drive to Boothbay. I was mesmerized by the way the sunlight spilled over the two small trees on the left. Thus, the title.

Just finished this one. Hubby and I took a drive to Boothbay yesterday afternoon. It was a spectacular spring day, and I took hundreds of pictures. I love to paint roads, with the dappled light and shadow effects. Be forewarned. This is just the first of my Boothbay Road paintings. There will be more.

Another one I painted sometime in the last couple of months. Early morning in October on the backside of Sand Hill with the sun barely risen over the Kennebec. I love Sand Hill, with its old houses and the way the morning light streams across the river to light their faces.

Newsflash: I just sold two paintings to a lovely gentleman from the greater Washington, DC area. What a nice boost to my morale, after trying to sell prints on eBay and basically giving them away. He saw my prints and wrote to ask if I would sell any of my originals. Of course, I said yes. But for me, it's a little like giving away your children. I quickly become attached to my paintings and hate to part with them. On the other hand, a) money is nice, b) I want to share them with the world, and c) I've run out of wall space to hang them at home.

Went to A.C. Moore this morning and bought a couple of small gallery-wrap canvases. I haven't worked with them before, mostly because they're so expensive, but our local A.C. Moore store, which just opened a couple of months ago, keeps giving me these 50% off coupons. They're good for a particular day only, which gets me off my butt and into the store every Saturday. I painted the edges of my most recent painting, Across the Kennebec, and I really liked the result, so I think working with the broad edges of the gallery wraps will be fun.

Finally, FINALLY, this is done. It's been through so many incarnations that I've lost track. I've added houses, deleted houses, added trees, deleted trees, painted the road, re-painted the road, until I can't possibly add another drop of paint. I think I'm happy with it. It'll still have to sit for a day or two before I'll declare it utterly and completely done, but for now, it's pretty much done.

I painted this last fall, after one of my infamous drives in the country with my trusty digital camera. The day was nice, the view was nicer.
