Title: Seaside Garden
Post by Sharon on May 22^nd, 2004 at 3:46am

The warm weather has arrived and it's time to get out and paint! Today our little plein air group went to a beautiful place called Fuller Gardens in Rye, NH. The site is a historic preservation of the gardens constructed by former NH Governor Alvin Fuller back in the 1920s at his residence.
I used a controlled palette for unity: burnt umber, hooker's green, chromium oxide green, cobalt blue, alizarin crimson, cad yellow medium, naples yellow, and white.
What a pleasure getting back outside after a long cold winter!

Hi Sharon,
Yes the nice weather is a blessing.
This week I left Maui to visit the East Coast, NJ and NY. I'll be painting a fresco in Upper NY for a few months.

I brought my acrylics also, and a couple of panels because I heard there were a lot of flowers that I haven't seen in a long time. I left NJ almost 30 years ago.

I was here two years ago and painted this from my cousin's Mexico, NY backyard.

I guess acrylics are my all around favorite medium. Looks as if you may enjoy them also. I hope you put checks in Notifie of Replies for this Topic, and Notify of New Topics on the Home page. Thanks for posting you're painting.

Good grief - YOU are from NJ too? What town? Seems everyone I meet lately is FROM NJ (the lucky ones get to escape! LOL). This morning while "Gallery sitting" I met an older member of SAA who I hadn't met before - turns out he was born & raised in Clifton!
I was born & raised in Bayonne.

Right now I'm at my mom's house in Trenton, where I spent the first 21 years. I've been on Maui for the last 27. I excaped. Tomorrow I'll be in Mexico, NY, on Lake Ontario. Working on a buon fresco I haven't started yet.

Trenton - escape a good choice! LOL
Enjoy New York - that's a nice area up there. Unfortunately, the weather's not looking too good for this week.
I love the barn painting, vibrant but soft at the same time and beautifully rendered. I hope you'll share pictures of the fresco in progress and completed.
I know this is off-topic - I promise not to "wander" anymore!

Hi Sharon,
I have a NY ISP now so I can do my online work.
Here are the fresco links.
