-------------------------------------

I have a fondness for

Weekapaug Point, RI,
which runs deep in my Being
not only because it is an ideal lookout
location for the Binoculars Series,
but also because the many hours of
duely noted observations
and
contemplations of Life
have been spent here.

With that said
this piece
Binoculars #170,
is a combination of two days.

Perhaps this view has already happened
or maybe it has yet to happen,
either way,
it was extracted
from that deep recesses
of the fondness I have for such a
popular and yet quiet lookout.

I close out with a tune
that often kept me company
while Weekapaug Point
stitched its way into my heart.

Enjoy! ~ Polly ~

This piece is much larger than

its original 6" x 24" plein-air counterpart,

(now in a private collection in Africa!)

The pleasures of working 

in plein-air painting are many,

but the top #1 reason is, 

there is nothing like working from Life

and being 'one' with the elements!

   

Also, most plein-air pieces tend

to be small in nature

which makes for easier transport and,

one can work effectively, more quickly. 

With the essence of the moment

residing in a small piece,

the work allows itself to be

brought back to the studio

and used for reference

later on.

I hope the transformation

from small to large

was a success!?

Enjoy! ~ Polly ~

In the midst ...

A number of days ago on my FB page,

I promised to make an updated blog entry

of the studio happenings

for the blogging activity has become alarmingly quiet,

contrary to what has been happening in the studio.

I am in the midst of working on 

11 new 'Binoculars' pieces

for the upcoming show

'High Summer'

at the Cate Charles Gallery.

All the pieces are in varying stages of completion

and in rotating positions on the easel.

As the days march on ever closer to the deadline,

I am trying my very best not to think of it 

while attempting to make paintings fly off the easel

and maintaining my high standards! 

Here is a sneak peek of what's on the easel!

Binoculars #??? work-in-progress.

So, please stay tuned for more!

Cheers, ~ Polly ~
