My Epiphone 6x6

I've had this guitar since I was a teenager...never could play it but it's not like I didn't try. At least my brothers got to play it for many years...they have their own guitar collections now. maybe one of these days I'll try again. I'd have to cut my nails though, and I'm not ready for that. This was painted for our Girls Just Wanna Paint challenge for this month: "Music."

McGoo's Pizzeria

The first time I painted at this spot in South Boston I met some real interesting people, including Santa Clause. The reason I know he was Santa Clause was that he gave me his business card. This painting, though, was painted in my studio using my original work as a reference. I just wanted to see how it would come out, and here it is.

Brockton Fair 6"x6"

For some reason, Blogger wants to bleach out this painting...I was able to post it elsewhere and the colors remained vibrant, but not so much here. Anyway, this fair is not far from my workplace and I drive by all the time...this was painted from a photo I took. I hope to go there soon and paint plein air. An interesting place!

A Tremont Street Corner 24"x24"

I actually painted this scene a few years ago with Ros Farbush and although I like the first rendition, there were a few things that I didn't like about the original. I don't believe in copying my work, I tried to change it a bit...it looks almost exactly the same much to my surprise. Sigh. I guess I'll need to try it again.

"CTRL+ALT+DEL" (3rd Party Claims Reconciliation) 6"x6"

This is my entry to this month's "Girls Just Wanna Paint" challenge which is titled "Tools of the Trade." As a supervisor in "3rd Party Claims Reconciliation," (say that 3 times fast), I couldn't operate without my computer in my trusty cubicle...

Boats at Jo's Nautical Bar

You've really gotta love Jo's...it's a funky shaped big old building right near the tip of Hull, directly on the bayside with crazy great views. I've painted there a few times and hope to many more times...there is SO much to paint there. Gets a little windy though sometimes.

Jo's in July

Jo's Nautical bar is a local place, situated right on the bay and with plenty of boats in the parking lot that have been there for years. The bar is in the basement and there's a nice patio out in the back...kind of self service as I recall. I've painted there more than I've been a patron.
