"First Impressions" Series 1, 2, and 3

I finished the first three of my new series called, "First Impressions". Here is an image of one called, "Path Through the Meadow". I was inspired by a path at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth. The other two, along with this one, are posted in my Etsy shop. To see them just click this link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/DianaJohnsonFineArt

"First Impressions" Series

A new year seems like a good time to tackle my stack of unfinished paintings.  When on location I record my first impressions of a scene with watercolors.  Then I finish them back in the studio with gouache.  Once Spring arrives another stack will start to grow!

Pownal Invitational

Here are two good reasons to visit Pownal, Maine.  Edna and Lucy's restaurant is exhibiting paintings of the local area by local artists.  I have a painting called "Sun on the Barn" in the show.  And...the food is fabulous!  You can enjoy breakfast and lunch in this colorful, cozy, casual restaurant.
