Patcong Sunrise October 8x6

Scull's Bay Sunrise 8x10

A few years ago I did a series of sunrise paintings from this spot. A few days ago I returned for the first time in over a year! Still just as pretty.

Wings and Water

I managed to produce several decent plein air pieces for the recent Wings & Water Festival in Stone Harbor and Avalon. 25 % of the sales went to support the Wetlands Institute..a very worthy cause. Hobie Cats. 11x14

Seaview Country Club

A fine old south jersey institution. I'm doing a demo for their Sunday Brunch this week...and putting some work in the gift shop( via the Noyes Museum )! The best part is that I finally seem to be pulling out of the winter slump. 6x8

Easter Morning at the Country Club

5x7 I'll be doing a demo at Seaview Country Club for thier Sunday Brunch this weekend. Its a beautiful property!

Hammonton Farmlands

6x6. The smaller of two paintings I did last week for the annual Hammonton Noyes Museum Paint Out.The larger( and better )painting is on display until the end of the month...I'll get an image then! My day was cut short after getting infested with ticks while doing this little piece. I was sitting on a grassy hill, didnt think they would be in a place like that!

Little Orchid

After indulging in a slump for the last month I finally picked up the brush today and did this little 6x6. It felt good! Small paintings to begin with, but I'm really itching to get outside....just need some green!!!

Windy Day on the Wetlands

From last week....it was cold and windy, but the sun was bright and the flattened grass is a harbinger of Spring. 8x6

Summer in the Park..finished

14x18

Summer in the Park

I'll be adding some more definition to the leaves and lilypads, but I'm quite happy with this warm summer memory in the cold of February. Been working on commissions ...several are copies of paintings that were already sold. Out of respect to my collectors I will never publicly show repeats, even though I retain the right to the image. As it is I've never been that comfortable copying previous works, but these days I simply can not turn my back on any income oppurtunities. 12x16

Yellow Roses

My Basset Hound Archie passed away two weeks ago at the ripe old age of 13 1/2. I spent the previous two weeks spending every moment with him that I could, knowing that my old friend and companion was nearing his end. These flowers were a sympathy arrangement. 6x6

Changing Times

It feels to me sometimes that after 6 years this blog has run it's course. I thought for a while I would just start a new blog or simply let the blogosphere go. One thing ...as far as marketing goes I've had a lot of success on facebook this past year, so I'm much more inclined to post the freshly finished painting there. However as a side gallery to my website I think Chuck Law's Art Pages should continue on. It's also my easiest and favorite archive for all the smaller works I've produced since going "professional". So what am I trying to say here...the blog will ultimately continue on, but the posts will be less frequent as they've been for a while. Meanwhile here is one from last week. Winter Evening on Monroe. 9x12

Merry Christmas

Sorry for the blog neglect. I haven't been doing the daily's for the last few months. A few commissions that couldn't be posted publically. I plan to get back into plein air full time after the New Year!!

September Sunrise with Bird

From the Stone Harbor Causeway last month. I went back in a few days ago and altered a few things with this. My goal is for better paintings. Slowly I've let go of my need to depict the landscape exactly as I see it. Impression: Sunrise :) 8x10

Work in progress: Great Falls

A scene from Patterson NJ. A friend took me up there last spring to show me this wonderful place. The second largest waterfalls on the East Coast! This has been so much fun to paint! 36x24

Like a Picture

This beautiful sailboat really did cruise by when I did this 5x7. I painted it in first before it was gone, then filled in the rest I knew it might look staged, but who could resist!?

Glenn Taylor Band

A new Day job has been keeping me very busy for the last 6 weeks. It's supposed to be part time 2/3 days a week so I can continue to paint. I've been doing some work, but not had much time to post or show here on the blog. Here's one from last week. The Glenn Taylor Band. Another Ocean City Wednesday Night on Asbury Avenue Piece.

Ocean City Wednesday Evenings

There is a painting event every Wednesday for the summer on Asbury Avenue in Ocean City. Open to all artists...paint from 5pm to 8 and the enter the contest at the OC Art League for judging and prizes... I plan on attending most Wednesdays. Aslo the Annual Ocean City Boardwalk Art show is comingup the weekend of August 7th. I'll be at my usual location at 8th and the boards.

Patcong Creek Looking East

For 5 years I've only painted the northwest view of Patcong Creek. I was up at sunrise the other morning drove over to the bridge and decided to face the other way. Right below where I was standing are some of the remains of a ship building factory that was there a long long time ago. 8x10
