Where have I been?

I have posted but just not here.  I made up a collage of most of the ones I've done since the Museum paintings, and you can see them in the window to your right.  You can always go to my on-line Daily Paintworks gallery page to see everything that is available through DPW with your quick and easy PayPal ability to purchase.
I am working with new paint-mixing principles and I like what's happening there and you will soon see the difference.  I will also, from time to time, be posting some of my older paintings to which I've been doing a little touching up, and I think you will notice the difference.

Otter Cliffs, Acadia National Park, Maine

This started out as a plein air painting in the Acadia National Park in Maine, 

and then I worked on it in the studio.  

This is Otter Cliffs, one of the 8 most beautiful spots in the park.  

The rocks along this area are a definite orange color, like the ones in Gloucester MA.  

Here is a link to see photos of this area of the park in case you haven't been there: https://www.escapecampervans.com/blog/8-cant-miss-stops-in-acadia-national-park/

Ominous Sky at Halloween

This is a plein air painting in one afternoon and as sunset approached the mood changed to dramatic and ominous and I decided to 'get' it since it reminded me of the season of Halloween and I enjoyed going with the flow.

Pears with Silver background

FUN - This contemporary modern still-life painting of two pears is colorful and has a SILVER background. Notice the difference (how it glows) in the second photo on my DPW page with the link to buy. I think it's really neat! I also love the colors and the adorable glass with the flower in it! And I love orange, so it's on an orange table :)

Two Plein Air Paintings

Both are plein air paintings.

The first one was in upper state NY near the finger lakes on a workshop with Lori Putnum a few years ago.  The second one was at the Greenbelt in Ipswich a few years ago.

I was going to go in and paint more on them, but decided not to.  Once you start to 'fix' anything on a plein air painting, well me anyway, you get carried away and the beauty of the plein air sketch is lost.    So they are now offered on the DPW site if anyone is interested.

Dogwood Seed Pods

I was seeing these seed pods everywhere one year and didn't know what they were. They are the most curious looking things. Finally last year I saw them in my neighborhood and when Spring sprung I realized it was under a dogwood tree! When I was very young and used to walk in the woods, there was a dogwood tree there that fascinated me. We don't have that many here in the Northeast. I arranged them on a bunched up white napkin to give them an interesting background and painted them in natural light near the window of my studio.

Small Church, Gubbio, Italy

I was captivated by this beautiful ancient small church in Gubbio, Italy. It was my absolute favorite small church on a painting trip in September 2014. There were many large churches but this is the one I remember the most. Church of St. Marziale

I'm giving a painting away today on DPW.  

After I post my paintings to Daily Paintworks, I load them up on my Facebook Artist page and on my Pinterest page.  Then I try to post them to my two blogs,

Mary Pyche Art Store.  

Some days I don't post to the blogs right away and get busy and forget to do it, 

so I suggest that you look at my gallery page on Daily Paintworks and 

see my most recent posts including the ones I have not posted here.

Apple Blossoms

Todays post to Daily Paintworks is this deep profile stretched canvas 5x7" painting of Apple Blossoms.  These colors aren't my go-to colors, but I really do like how it came out!  And I like orange--go figure!  Well, this is more a dark yellow, who can tell the difference? 
-o-
What's next, apple blossom time!  I look forward to when the trees start to leaf out and the fruit trees blossom.  I have an apple tree in my front yard because my husband loved apples.

Single Sunflower

"Single Sunflower"

on deep stretched canvas with painted sides - 5x7 in -
What is it about sunflowers?  Everyone notices them.  They are dramatic and colorful.  I'm learning that there are many varieties of them, short petals, long petals, very large ones and very small ones, etc.  I like to paint them and I also like daylilies.  What are your favorites, I'd like to know :)

2 Birds with Grapes and a Pear - Now Sold

Today's entry on the online gallery Daily Paintworks is only 5x5" and $30.

This would look good in your kitchen or dining room.  I love this little fruit bowl arrangement in my dining room so decided to do a painting of it. These little birds really add interest to the bowl of fruits and vegetables. I had it on DPW before and decided to brighten it up a bit.

Crazy Days?

By coincidence I have painted two CRAZY paintings.  I was fascinated with this cloth thinking it would make a nice busy background.  Some people can pull this off better than I did, it's harder than it looks.  So the first one is 6x8" and the second one is 6x6".  They are both available on the DPW site.  The larger one is submitted to the Crumpled Challenge since it has a lot of folds.

This is the link to my DPW gallery page.

Flowers from the Fairy Garden

Flowers from the Fairy Garden

I worked a lot on this one to make it look like I didn't work a lot on this one!  

It is a very sweet piece.  8x8"

My neighbor who has a fairy garden named it :)

Field of Hollyhocks

Look what I got:  Yay!

"You're one of our DPW Facebook picks of the day!"

"Field of Hollyhocks"

on Stretched Canvas - 8x8 in - I love hollyhocks.  I try to grow them.  Some years are better than others.  I wish I knew the secret.  For now, I'll have to be content painting them and looking at this painting, yes, I love it, it satisfies my hollyhock fantasy :)

Dinosaur Egg?

I love this painting, It's one of my favorites.  This very large rock is on the corner of my street and every day I walk by it I admire it, but this time in late spring there were no leaves on the trees and the early morning sun was streaming through the trees, setting this giant egg shaped New England rock in a nest of dramatic shadows! 
This 6x6" oil painting on stretched canvas has a urethaned natural wood strip frame.
