Just so you don't think I'm slacking, here's a peek at an almost finished 16x20 painting I've been working on. Painting on this very rough canvas takes a lot of paint and a lot of careful brushwork. I so prefer the smooth surface of panels. I like the texture here though.
One more thing...I ordered my Open Studios cards late and although I will still mail out about 100 of them, please note that my studio is Open NEXT Saturday and Sunday from 12-5 in The Sandpaper Factory at 83 East Water Street in Rockland. Lots of great paintings will be available at low (clearance) prices. Something for everyone and a bunch of new paintings too! Tell everyone and bring your friends, kids and dogs (if they're social) ;) I look forward to seeing you.
Today my brother, Jamey came to my studio to add some 2x4's between the
studs in my wall for my little props. He also makes the fabulous Pochade
boxes. He's the MAN! Thank YOU Jamey!

Lovely painting. I prefer artist/gesso panels to canvas, too!!! *probably because I like using lots of medium*
I wish I could come to your opening!!! *sadface*
Please post photos! :D

I must admit, I like the effect you are getting with the rough canvas. And I wish I could ride up on His Nibs to your Open Studio. I wish you all the very best!!! :) And a warm fuzzy muzzle from my significant other.
Beautiful painting! Lovely brushwork - I think this rough canvas suits your style well even if it' hard work. I love all the shades of blue and pink in the water and sky. Great work.
Really wonderful composition! Love the big painting- gorgeous colors and love all the boats. Great job and you should do more of these:)
Best of luck on the Open House. Yay for Jamey- awesome idea on the little shelves.
A lovely little seascape, Mary!
It's a beauty, once again. Best wishes for a wonderful event.
Mary I prefer smooth surfaces far above course ones. I started doing a 100 windows and doors. But the course handmade canvasses had me stopping at 16! You have a lovely panorama here, hope it turns out well!
I am gad that your friend loved our West Coast!
I love the texture, love the colors, love everything :-)
Never would I think you were slacking. Hope your open studio is fabulous!!!
Love your painting. Such a great composition and colors (you always do beautiful colors!). Wish I could be to your Open Studio! Oh, btw, can I borrow your brother? :-)
Your colors are eyecatching. This has a nice design too. Beautiful!
A lovely painting!
I just got this a minute ago in my inbox, and I come to your blog and a million people already commented! This is simply gorgeous. You are doing an amazing job on such a big canvas... Luscious color!
Lovely painting, Mary. You've really go those boats and I love the wonderful colors, such gorgeous water. I want to see it in person!
Love this painting Mary. The purple/blues complement the golds so well
Great painting, Mary and I like your little shelves. Do you use the 4th floor artists cards also?
Looks MSW..Think you might keep working on the texture..works for you
Awesome painting!!! The shelves are wonderful. Wish I had the space to do something similar.
Wonderful painting Mary!! Love that brush work, wish I could make it to the open studio but my darn pilot has the flu...have fun!
