I love interior paintings but I don’t often do them. So on a rainy day while we were in Maine I jumped at the chance to paint the glowing light fixtures over the dining table at our beautiful Airbnb. It was fun to do a painting indoors where the light didn’t change!

We’re in Maine! And I went out to paint the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. With the white building and light blue sky, I struggled to get something that didn’t look pale and washed-out. Totally forgot to include the American flag, but then I decided the painting didn’t really need it.

I had a wonderful and inspiring weekend painting in Vermont with Deserie Valloreo, Paula Roy, and Joyce Burkholder. The location, the company, the food, the guitar playing, the critiques and inspiration, and the ability to just hang out and paint without life’s usual distractions— what a treat! And, we got to tour the studio of Vermont artist Peter Huntoon. Many thanks to Deserie and Jim for organizing this!

We’re on our way to New England and just had a lovely stop in Asheville. While there I drove up the Blue Ridge Parkway to Craggy Gardens, where I got to see (and paint) the blooming wild rhododendrons. The colors were spectacular and it felt magical to see flowers hidden among the trees. The weather was perfect, I got to chat with some nice people and honestly I’m pinching myself that I get to do this 😊🩷

Art museum visit! We’re on a road trip to New England, and we’ve got quite a few art museums on our itinerary. So I thought I’d bring y’all along by sharing highlights. First up: the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia. The permanent collection in this museum is wonderful and similar in many ways to the collection at our James Museum in St Pete.

But the real reason for our visit was the Jeremy Lipking exhibit. Lipking is a contemporary realist painter and this exhibit celebrates his 30 years (so far) as an artist. It was just terrific and so inspiring. Jim and I spent the next hour or so in the car talking about the exhibit, and about painting in general. It made me really grateful to be married to another artist.

Scroll through the photos for a peek at the show and other artworks that caught my eye.

Art inspirarion from the Anders Zorn exhibit here in Madrid. We were blown away by the brushwork, the edges, the compositions, just all of it One of the best exhibits I’ve ever seen, it’s closing soon and we only found out about it by chance.

Jim will always love Sargent and I will always love Sorolla But Zorn…wow. These photos don’t do his work justice. We feel so ncredibly grateful that we had the opportunity to see it.

An artsy day in Lisbon! I had a lovely morning in a park with a view of the city, painting the fountain, watching the tourists, and listening to a guy playing covers of American songs on guitar. And in the evening, and I tried figure sculpting in clay from a live model. It was very fun, but hard, and our figure drawing experience didn’t seem to help much. 🙄 Good thing there was wine!

Lisbon from the window of our Airbnb. Goodness it’s hilly here! I walked down the steep hill to the waterfront this morning, then back up, then up the 5 flights of stairs to our apartment. My thighs begged me not to go back outside this afternoon.😊

I’m having fun painting with gouache. But using the right amount of water is a constant challenge. One minute my paint is like paste and the next I’ve turned it into soup. I guess it will get easier with experience? But if anyone has tips, please let me know!

I wandered around Granada today and happened upon the home and studio of Max Moreau, a Belgian portrait artist who lived in Granada for nearly 30 years. When he died in 1992 he left his entire estate to the city.

The home and garden were small, but absolutely lovely (and a welcome respite from streets clogged with tourists). I found a shady bench in the back yard and worked on this quick little sketch till I heard the attendant say “ferme.” Then I shoved everything back in my bag and scurried out just as he was locking up for the afternoon.
