Provincetown Lane

Pearl Street
Recently I painted this lane in Provincetown for my show; that has taken up my time.
I painted this scene many years ago when I attended the Cape Cod School of Art, since it's just down the street.  I never felt that I was able to paint a good version of this lane, until now.
I have been trying to get a little depth in my painting so this scene is a challenge to organize the arial  perspective as in  background, middle ground, and fore ground.

Margaret McWethy workshop

Margaret McWethy is a great artist who knows more about still life painting than anyone I have had the privilege to study with . This past week I attended her demo. I have been busy getting ready for my show tonight, but found time to watch Margaret's demo at the Cape School of Art. Margaret pointed out the anatomy of the still life,that is so important for a still life painter.
