Where I Live - Rhode Island

This painting was from a photo taken from my front porch.  I live on the Sakonnet River in Rhode Island, and I could just sit, mesmerized by the boats going back and forth.  The time of day is when the sun is sinking below Aquidneck Island (where Newport is), leaving the sky orangey-pink, my favorite time...

Where I Live Challenge

Cloud Gate 

6 x 6 oil on panel

Well, this isn't exactly where I live. But I do consider myself in the Chicagoland area! This is Cloud Gate at Millennium Park in Chicago. Also known as the "Bean". I found this to be quite a challenge. 

Where I Live Challenge

This is on our farm in Fairfield County, South Carolina.  My two girls grew up hunting here - deer, turkey and doves - and my husband cut and bailed coastal bermuda hay for many years.  There is a small pond and the grandchildren are learning to fish.  A lot of memories have been made here.  Betsy

12x12 Original Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

It's been so long since I posted an image here, I almost forgot how!  This is the famous lighthouse at HarbourTown, on Hilton Head Island -- it's where I live!

JKo Lives Here

I moved to Kiawah permanently 5 years ago.  My children grew up here as this is where we had our "American" home while living overseas.  Here is a painting of the view off our back deck.  I call it "Back Forty".  My husband likes to pretend that the golf course in  the distance all belongs to him!

On my easel right now

I love posts of what is on your easel so I thought I would jump in with my latest...

My little ballerinas visited last weekend and I took lots of source photos!  I love this one of little Lucy sitting on the stairs all tuckered out from dancing.  I love her hand up on the rail and body position.

I have to fix her angled leg and then add in the darks and lights and really punch up that tutu...my favorite part.  It is a 16 x 20 on ray mar panel.

Oil on Raymar Panel

Not EXACTLY where I live...but close.  I must admit I came to this area kicking and screaming...  But after almost two decades I absolutely love living here.  There is so much to do and see...never a dull moment.  And the tourists do provide lots of sources and inspiration for my artwork!  

The painting that Maria posted for me two days ago is titled "The View from the Dock at Cinder Creek"  It is my answer to the challenge that the Hilton Head Gang put out recently.  It was painted en plein air on the island of Kiawah in South Carolina. I couldn't figure out how to post it, but thanks to Maria, I am now an official "blogger" !!I shall now post another view of Cinder Creek done just yesterday!  HHG member Judy Elias  This is titled "The Preserve"

"Where I Live" Posting

This is a 6 x 6 oil painting of the North Georgia Mountains. It was created as a commission for a couple who were transferred to Houston. They wanted a painting to remind them of the area. This scene is about 1 hour from where I live in Atlanta.

Spring .. in progress

I've started my second painting in the dream still life series. This one is spring. I need to get back to it because summer is slipping right through my fingers! The table will be turquoise and I used a really funky bright rug from the bathroom for the rug in this one. 30" x 30"
