Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   5/23/17
   

 Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Spring in Glass"

I am home from my workshop in France! Getting there was rough (I posted about that on Facebook), but then it was all FABULOUS (amazing food, beautiful scenery, wonderful company, etc.). I posted pictures on Instagram and Facebook - pick your poison. I also posted my demos, but I'll show them again here (all sold - sorry that they aren't better photos...).

I took thousands of photos when I was there, so you can be sure to see more France paintings very soon!


 Click Here to Bid  - 6x6in. - "Cute Times Three"

I got these tiny little vases a number of years ago at a gallery in Cannon Beach, OR. Ever since then, every year, whenever these little white flowers pop up around my neighborhood, (about now) I paint them in the little vases. Or so I thought. Apparently I missed the last few years (doh!). Here's my 2013 version.

When I was in France recently, I roomed with a gal I've "known" for over 10 years, but we only met in person on this trip. Besides being an amazing person, she's also a spectacular artist. I learned she has a youtube channel about her art, so I checked it out. Wow! For any of you who do printmaking or watercolor, or have wanted to get into either, please, please check out Belinda DelPesco! She is simply awesome.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   5/3/17
   

 Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "A Nice Complement"

Tomorrow I begin the long journey to France. First a day in Portland in order to properly say goodbye to my husband. Then 3 flights, landing in Marseille. To be honest I'm not excited about the travel part, but I'm beyond stoked about seeing France for the first time! We've got a great group lined up, and some exciting places to paint! Unfortunately this means I won't be able to ship any paintings until after I return (May 20th). I apologize for the inconvenience.


 Click Here to Bid  - 8x8in. - "Old Town"

I did this one in Old Town San Diego during the convention. It was a street full of really cool buildings and only foot traffic. I could have painted there all week! It was awesome. When I was just about done, my buddy Mark Fehlman came over and gave me a lovely critique that ended up making the painting better - thanks, Mark!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   5/1/17
   

  Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "A Nice Spot for Tea"

I'm back from the Plein Air Convention. And I didn't die of fear before completing my demo, so I call that a success! But really, I heard good things afterwards, so I'm happy. My secret was the wonder woman socks I wore. : ) The whole event was actually QUITE fun, and informative. My favorite presentation was by  Jill Carver, a wonderful artist I know from my time in Austin.

Now back to the tulips. Above is number 4 in the series, of 5. Unfortunately I will be off on another trip before the auction for this is done. So I won't be able to ship the next few paintings until I return from France on May 20th.



 Click Here to Bid  - 6x6in. - "Tulips By Moonlight"

I used a cool, indirect light for this one, the last of the tulips. I used to think indirect light wouldn't be...enough. But I like this. I'm going to try it more often.
