Thanks to the generosity of dear friends/patrons, I was able to spend four weeks in Provincetown, MA. It was off-season, and in March and April I knew I’d have some difficulties doing my usual plein air painting. But it was a revelation to have a chance to work for the first time in Ptown, and I understand better now why this special place has long been such an “artist magnet.”
There was snow, cold, and blustery weather, but I managed to do some work outside, some still lifes inside, and I was especially delighted to attend figure drawing sessions two mornings a week at the Provincetown Art Museum.
I did not keep a daily blog this time, but here is a selection of photos, paintings, and drawings from my artist residency. Enjoy!
Paintings are 20×20″ or 20×16″ or 16×16″, acrylic on Multimedia Artboard:
Drawings are 11×14″, 9×12″, or 9×9″, sumi ink (and walnut ink for some) on acid-free paper:
What’s next? I’m looking forward to lots of painting in Maine and points north this summer. Stay tuned!
