"Stoney Brook Acres" - 12 x 12 inches - oil on canvas

"Stoney Brook Acres" - 12 x 12 inches - oil on canvas

Stoney Brook Acres is a sweet little farm stand.  The place always smells great as they usually have cookies baking in the oven.  It is a fun place to pick up flowers, fresh fruits, veggies and even soft serve ice cream or a sandwich. 

The challenge in this painting was the composition.  I could have included the rest of the greenhouse area on the right, another structure with some farm animals, picnic tables, etc.  In the end, I decided to focus on the main building to highlight the colorful sign letters and the trays of bright flowers.

"Kim's Chair" - 6 x 6 inches - oil on canvas

"Kim's Chair" - 6 x 6 inches - oil on canvas



Whenever I work at the Art on Main gallery, I always bring things to paint to help pass the time and to also give visitors a demo as they visit the shop. I neglected to bring something along and had to scout around for interesting stuff to paint. I’ve always thought that this chair has a certain charm and personality and was happy to spend an afternoon trying to capture that spirit in my painting.  (In case you were wondering about the title, the chair belongs to Kim Scott, our resident potter).

"Gallery Glow" - 6 x 6 inches - oil on canvas



"Gallery Glow" - 6 x 6 inches - oil on canvas

I volunteered to gallery sit at the PCA last Sunday.  To help pass the time, I brought my paints along.  I knew I would paint something inside the building but didn’t decide until I walked around and evaluated all my options.  I picked this scene largely because of the sunny reflection on the wood floor.  My favorite part of this painting, however, is the small wrinkle I added to the front of rug to give it dimension...I just love that!
