Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Crowded Roses"

"Crowded Roses" - 6x6in. -  click to bid

  
Every time I get home from a trip or workshop I feel like I'm floundering a bit for the first week or so. I don't remember what I was excited about before I left and I feel a bit directionless. So this time I decided to return to roses, since they are always a joy to paint. I had to paint a couple of duds first, which is usual for me after a break, but this one I like.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Simple Cup 4"

"Simple Cup 4" - 6x6in. -  click to bid

  
Here is my fourth and last cup from my  4 in 4 challenge/series. And I am finally able to report about my recent workshop. But first, quickly, a reminder about  this month's DPW contest, AND, a heads up about a 2014 workshop in San Antonio, Texas (to be announced Thursday, 10/24/13 at 8pm, CST), FYI, SYT (see you there!).

So, I flew to Wisconsin last weekend in time for a gorgeous show of fall color! You can see a tiny bit of it through the window (my view while doing demos) in the bottom left photo below. My kids were a predictably troublesome bunch, but redeemed themselves every evening by plying me with wine and dessert (apparently my reputation proceeds me)! Here are a few shots of them working:   



And here is the final shot of the bunch of us (see a larger version on my blog), me in the Maine sweatshirt (in case you don't know me yet). Honestly, they were great kids and made some really great art. I will miss them all!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Simple Cup 1"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     10/11/13
"Simple Cup 1" - 6x6in. -  click to bid

  
Yesterday I painted a really simple composition with this new cup I got and some paper. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to challenge myself to come up with three more compositions using just these objects. So that was hard! But I did it and I'm glad because it was out of my comfort zone, and I think it's good to be there sometimes.

Tomorrow I start my trek to Wisconsin for my last workshop of the year. I'll post the other three cups when I can.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Tomato Run"

Here is one more painting I did with my friend Bren here. The other one was the fish painting from my last post (here's her version). We only did 2 because the rest of the time was spent exploring Oregon and working on other art projects. We had so much fun I tried to convince her to stay forever, but her husband and kids wanted her back. : (

I am now recovering from a little cold and hope to paint some before I head off to my next workshop, in Wisconsin.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Sardines and a Tomato"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     10/4/13
"Sardines and One Tomato" - 6x6in. -  click to bid

  
Sorry I haven't been posting much lately! I've been busy finishing up a long-term project, and this week I have a good friend from Maine visiting, Brenda Ferguson. Yesterday we were chatting about how we've always wanted to paint fish but are both intimidated by the prospect. We agreed that together we could make it happen. So today we went searching for fish and after one false start and 3 stores we (luckily) found these whole sardines (with sad little tails - not pictured). I won't begin to tell you how much they stunk up my studio!! But it was totally worth it.
