"I'm Still Standing!" 18 x 24 oil on panel - Dawn Kinney Martin SOLD
I started this one back in June. I was on a plein air trip with friends in my favorite painting town, Elizabeth City, NC, when I found this little gem. Back in the studio, using the plein air study, photos, and memory, I set to work to make my master piece. Months passed. A tweak here, and a tweak there....and there...... It was so close but still needs something.
Well, today, I might just have it! This might just be the day! I think I finally have it pulled together.
If you want to paint this great spot with me in October, I still have 3 spots left in my painting retreat Click HERE
This is the plein air study above and the early beginning of the finished painting

Summer in the Mountain 10 x 10 oil on panel - plein air
A good friend had us out to paint in the North Ga Mountains last week and everything was just so green. After piddling around a little bit, I decided just to have a little fun with it and just go bold. Below is the actual scene I was working from. I think you can find the stairs but see if you can find the Adirondack chair in my painting....just kidding : ) - Dawn
I have so many unfinished demos in my studio left over from workshops, I decided to see if tI could do something with them.
This started of with one hydrangea on the top left and the lower sunflower on white canvas. I loved the little sunflower on the bottom, but it didn't seem to fit on the canvas. I decided to play around with color. By using the deep reds at the bottom, I felt like I could just give a hint of a vase and make the composition work.
It was a fun challenge and I'm liking it so far. On to the next one!! - Dawn
I went back around the corner today to see if I could finish this one. Right at 4:00 the light hits the buildings just right. Now if only these people would hold still!!
9 x 12 "Headed to the Park" oil on panel, plein air
Here's my start. Too bad I couldn't get that tandem bike in there. Such an unwilling model . : )

| My inspiration for the paint out. It was so rainy, I had to find a covered spot to paint from. |
My painting has taken a new direction this year and I'm happy to say, it was well received at my art shows. Above are a few of my favorites that found new homes. It's always a rewarding experience, but these, I'll miss. Time to get back in the studio!
SUMMER ON THE ROAD -
after spending
much of the summer traveling, it's great to get back home and regroup. I had a wonderful time painting, learning, making new friends and catching up with friends I only see once a year. I hit the upper Adirondacks in June and then Mystic CT, Mount Gretna PA, then on to Cary NC - and can you believe the weather was perfect?

Painting the week away with friends in the upper Adirondacks! What a way to spend the week! For a week in June a group of about 100 artists arrive at Paul Smith College in upstate New York for a week of plein air painting and fellowship.
These are a few painting I worked on during the week along with one someone painted of me while out in the field. This is my second year going to the Adirondack Plein Air Invitational. I love having a week with no distractions, just paint all day. A great way to make improvements in your work and catch up with friends.
I am wrapping classes until the fall and packing my van for a 3 week painting trip, YAY! After looking at my schedule, I decided that I do have time to run a 4 week painting studio class on our usual Tuesday evenings. Take a look at your summer plans, and if you have time, join me in the Studio!
Classes begin June 30.
Happy summer! Dawn
