I'm submitting 3 here. I was tempted to choose apple works, or Herman again but I wanted to put out something different, so I kept with the theme of places and chose these:
Flyby (Fenwick Island, DE)
8x10" acrylic on canvas panel
We Were Here (Mount Tabor Good Samaritan Lodge No. 59, Crownsville, MD)
10x8" acrylic on canvas panel
Halsey from Eastport
7x5" acrylic on canvas
It is so hard to decide what to send! Officially sending in my choices as submissions always stresses me out so. I want to choose ones that all have nothing to do each other if I were to choose my favorites and that doesn't work because, as I understand, it's desirable for any grouping of your work to seem cohesive. In any case, these 2 are what I will be delivering to the gallery:
I am participating in the Maryland Federation of Art's first Studio Tours event Saturday, April 30-Sunday May 1, 2022. Since my "studio" is in my home in Crofton, I will temporarily share a space with the gracious and talented Elizabeth Kendall (at SoCo Arts Lab, 312 Deale Rd, Tracys Landing, MD 20779). Although I won't be having this painting hanging in MFA's Circle Gallery as part of the event, it is what I submitted when applying to participate. This was the first painting I did using my new easel that I got for Christmas and reclaimed a truly terrible canvas.

I’d love to be a juried artist for this but I don’t know if I’ll
40x60”
Turns out of you need to tighten up a wave in the canvas you just paint the back with water. Who knew? I may have to redo the corners tho. I’d like them to be smother.
Taped a 40x60” paper to a closet and am practicing painting on that before trying on canvas. Long way to go but it’s a start.
Playing catch-up here on the blog. How amazing that I posted every day for a year! As I start spending more time on my next commission, I am doodling pomegranates as they are meaningful to the client.
After doing the acrylic painting of the John Dodd house for that commission, I wanted to see if I could do a watercolor. I ended up doing two. The client chose the acrylic, but I’m pleased with these and they were great learning experiences.
Can you tell what is different between the two besides the coloring of the trees? One of these things is not like the other….
Lookin’ pretty good in a frame! The acrylic is the one that’s been sent to Sacramento I’ve entered the watercolor for the Maryland Federatipn of Art’s upcoming Light And Shadow exhibition. Fingers crossed!
Hi all. Have you done your good deed for the day? Yes? No? Regardless, please consider voting for my 2 paintings in Maryland Federation of Art’s “Here Comes The Sun” virtual exhibition. I didn’t realize it was this kind of thing and so am late to the mark rallying the troops. Of course what is really measured is largely people’s connectedness but I sure would like to give the established favorites a run for their money! Thanks!

Reworked my first palette knife painting, evening out the planes of the water. I’m much happier with it now.
