Painting Live at Coastal Contemporary Gallery 

Picture
This past weekend, I brought my studio on the road and painted live at Coastal Contemporary Gallery demonstrating my process with the Big Little Skies series. 
​
These intimate paintings have been so much fun to paint. Using an alla prima approach, I work quickly letting go of accurately rendering the view in favor of capturing the energy and essence of the scene. Laying down paint with speed and confidence, honoring the integrity of the mark. Creating a seductive surface of luscious, juicy, and buttery textures that feel fresh and alive.

Thanks to all the lovely folks that dropped by. You might just see your cameo appearance in the video below!

Katherine and her daughter stopped by to say hi with some fresh strawberries, They were sailing from Sandwich back to Darien and stopped in Newport!  

Many of you may know this but get me within 2 feet of paint and I'm a magnet!.  No sooner had I laid out my oils, than I got a big clump of Cadmium Yellow in my hair,!, I decided to work it! 

I made three paintings in total over the two days, The first was a colorful rainbow sky. It was Pride weekend after all ;-)
