Judith Freeman Clark: May 2015

http://judithpainter49.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 26, 2015. It was a very quick study - but fun to do. It reminded me (again) of how important it is to let go of the details and simply PAINT! Wool Day at Sturbridge, 10" x 12" $25 unframed. You can bid on this painting by going to my Daily Paintworks auction. Saturday, May 23, 2015. Paint and that same paint once it's dried. The title derives from a line in Sonnet 18 (Wm. Shakespeare) which begins, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Summer's Lease 10.5" x 15.5" $50 opening bid. This mo...

Judith Freeman Clark: Kitchen Sunshine II

http://judithpainter49.blogspot.com/2016/03/kitchen-sunshine-ii.html

Sunday, March 20, 2016. Sometimes things don't turn out as you hoped they would. In completing my painting, "Kitchen Sunshine," I ran into several problems - one of which just about derailed the whole project. But having spent a lot of hours on the details, I was determined to offer it as a finished work, albeit with a few changes I hadn't planned on. This diminished the punchier impact of the warm-toned fruit. It also downplayed a strong contrast between the stripes and the white ground of the towel.

Judith Freeman Clark: December 2013

http://judithpainter49.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 20, 2013. Earlier this week, I completed this iris painting - "Royal Purple II" - using a photo I'd taken several years ago in my backyard garden. I've painted this subject before, but never was satisfied with the outcome. Here are a few photographs I took during a two-day watercolor workshop offered here in Worcester MA and organized through the painting studio of Jo Ellen Reinhardt. Always mix PLENTY of color! Our workshop instructor each day was Robert J. O'Brien.

Judith Freeman Clark: July 2016

http://judithpainter49.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 23, 2016. Thumbnails and plein air paintings. During the past week, I've tried to loosen up (again) by painting outdoors. Not my favorite setting for doing watercolors, but it is a great way to become better at sketching quickly and learning the best way to capture a scene's contrast re sunlight and shadow. Here is the thumbnail, followed by the finished watercolor sketch. Tower Hill Botanic Garden #1. 5" x 8" unframed. We have some hosta plants mixed in with some of the other greens, all ...

Judith Freeman Clark: En plein air

http://judithpainter49.blogspot.com/2015/06/en-plein-air-i.html

Thursday, June 11, 2015. Yesterday afternoon I took my easel into the back yard. I almost never do this. in the past, it's been a less-than satisfactory experience. There's always too much sun, too much wind, too much uneven ground, etc. etc. etc. However - since I've enrolled in a three-day July workshop with Tony van Hasselt, which will include daily excursions to paint en plein air. I'm determined to conquer my aversion to working anywhere but indoors. Great, naturally occuring set-up for my plein air.

Judith Freeman Clark: "Snow Path" -- a work-in-progress

http://judithpainter49.blogspot.com/2015/11/snowy-lane-work-in-progress.html

Sunday, November 22, 2015. Snow Path" - a work-in-progress. A few years ago I completed this woodland snow scene, which now hangs over the fireplace in my sister and brother-in-law's home on Cape Cod. I've wanted to paint another view of this snowy road through a snow-drifted forest, but haven't attempted it until now. A huge fan of cold weather, I admit that snow can be picturesque. especially around the holidays. Value sketch for "Snowy Lane". To paint the snow I used a mix of Winsor violet (dioxazine ...
