Painting #1 imaginescape
“Hope” 11×14.75 inches
I am happy to say that I have an air conditioning unit in my art room. I was able to paint in comfort for the first time this summer. Usually during the rest of the year I paint until 4 pm. During the summer I can’t seem to go beyond 2 pm. So yay me!
Back to the painting. This one was painted rather quickly and without planning. I have found that I rather be under the gun and paint not knowing the outcome. For some reason this enables more magical creativity, this is amazing considering that I am a recovering perfectionist!
Painting #2
“Good Morning Shenanigan Flat” 11×14.25 inch
This is a scene that I like to return to. I think that I have painted it over 20 times. I could easily paint it 20 times more. I painted this on 140# Waterford Saunders hotpress. I am in love with this paper, it is heavenly to work on.
Painting #3 imaginescape
“Enlightened” 10.5 x 15 inches
One of those that was painted quickly. I am considering knocking down that far hill on the right. Seems to be too strident. We’ll see.
Painting #4 imaginescape
Untitled – 10.5 x 14 inches
I loved using Daniel Smith’s Quin. Sienna with this one. I might have to correct some areas along the water, that is an easy fix.
Painting #5 imaginescape
“Purple Haze” 10.5 x 14 inches
Oh yeah, so fun to paint this one. Sometimes I like to change it up and using a different color combo often helps. I have to admit that I often become bored with doing the same thing. All I have to do is try out different colors.
Painting #6 “Sunset at Bullards” 7 x 9 inches
This plein air was painted last year and I decided to re-work it a bit, mainly giving it some highlights.
Painting #7 abstract “Look Beyond” 10.5 x 14.25 inches
I really liked the waffle texture of this paper, no idea which brand, I need to find out which one.
Painting #8 plein air of Shenanigan Flat 7x 9 inches
This one is from last year. I reworked the background a bit.
Well, that is it for now. I have more paintings to post but will catch up at a later date. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
They’re all stunning Margaret – you inspire me! #2 and #6 are my favourites…

Haha I am stockpiling. I literally have hundreds of paintings, I have thrown away at least 50. I have been thinking about how to sell, it is mind boggling knowing where to start. Thanks by the way!

Hi Margaret! i am always so happy to see your beautiful work. Numbers 6 and 1 have special appeal to me. Perhaps they evoke real landscapes and i like that. But the freedom of your work inspires me.
