open for the season

Winding Way Watercolors is open for the season at the same location- 6 North Main in beautiful Rockland Maine. You can see the Rockland Breakwater lighthouse from in front of the gallery on a clear day. This season brings a new artist to the gallery. Her name is Diana Maddocks and she has been working at the gallery the past two seasons and now will show some of her work in the gallery.
The first show includes some of the pen,ink and watercolor paintings that I did in the Virgin Islands this past february. Kathy Lane also is showing some beautiful flowers and a picture of fiddleheads- an oddly beautiful plant that we eat here in Maine. This year we are selling "Watercolor Lessons in a Bag" which includes all of the things the beginning artist or enthusiast needs to do their own watercolors. The instruction book is by Charles Evans who is a popular artist in the UK. I looked for a while to find an artist I liked and whose style is similar to mine.
We hoping for a good tourist season in Maine but of course welcome all people who love watercolors to come by the gallery or see our work at www.windingwaywatercolors.org until next time, Anne

A Dream come true- Opening of an art gallery

I am happy to have rembered that I had created a blog three years ago when I first did a website about my art work. Things have changed alot since then. I renovated a space and opened Winding Way Watercolors in Rockland Maine in May 2009. It was an exciting venture and a lot of work. The owner of the space was already painting the rooms when I rented the space. I loved the colors of dark blue and green so I was pleased.

I had seen a gallery on Ile de Orleans, Canada and fell in love with it's look so I modeled the gallery after that gallery. The gallery was done in bright colors with window boxes. I had overhead track lighting and ceiling molding installed so we would not have to put holes in the wall to hang paintings.

My new website can be seen at http://windingwaywatercolors.org I hope you enjoy it.

"beltie cows"

Here is a painting I did a few years ago of a belted galloway cow. It was sold and I liked it's freedom and whimisical appearance.

a few of my paintings

I am posting a few of my favorite paintings that I have done during the past few years. I am love painting people and children with brightly colored clothing. Currently I am work on some paintings for a summer art show at Aldermere Farm in Rockport Maine. The show is August 11th. This is farm where Belted Galloways are raised. They are also called " oreo cows " or "belties". You can view my all of my paintings at http://windingwaywatercolors.org
