Pemaquid Moon

Original Plein air Oil Painting by Deborah Chapin entitled "A Day at the Park"  12x20 plein air oil. I painted this original oil painting on site (en plein air).  I had a great day painting at Reid Park. I painted on Griffith point. The Plein air Painters of Maine were out there but I only saw a few and they were in a different location. Big place so really unless you’re all painting at the same location you don’t see each other. 
It was a great location and I can envision having other pieces that would be good. I did a sketch and I’m going to tweak some of the foreground stones. But great color to work with. Such fun to finally be getting in the groove.

White Horses of the Sea IV

This painting painted as a storm began to build and the gulls flying into the wind doing their version of hang gliding.  There is nothing like painting the surf on location where you become part of what you are painting. The wind and surf spray mix together with the cold morning chill all becoming part of the painting. Sometimes you are successful and have a chance to really just enjoy being alive and revel in the moment. This is one of the lessons that the wildlife demonstrates every time you go out on location. Sure there are harsh environments and bad weather days but what a thrill it is to fly along the surf . Exhibited at the Mystic Maritime Museum Gallery in their Mystic International.

About the Process of creating Original art:  I like to paint several smaller paintings, working myself up to larger work, as I learn the subject matter.  Gradually developing a portfolio which expresses the full character of the place.   Pemaquid Point is no different to than one of my favorite haunts in France.  It must be explored and appreciated and allowed to seep in at it's own pace...

This piece was a study of the inland beach that stretched two miles out during low tide. It’s the same beach that I painted with the Meanders of the Sea series. During low tide people would go out and dig for clams. During this period all of these reflections of the sky with puddles and inlets from the retiring sea wove in and among the beach mounds. . It was exhibited at the Mystic Maritime Museum gallery. It is a plein air painting and a 12 x 17 oil on Linen canvas.

Reflections of Azure

Painted in the location of the New Venuzula beach where there were mussels all over the rocks because of the high tide there was an 8 foot tide in this location and during low tide you would have these beautiful tones in the beach from pink granite and then the blue green violet color of the muscles that fascinated me. This particular location I painted mini pieces including Sandcastles, Discoveries on the Beach, a large 24 x 42 of mussel rocks at dawn piece and a half tide smaller 14 x 30 piece. This location was a landing point during the war for the resistance. This piece was exhibited at one of the Mystic International Exhibition. It is a 12 x 17 plein air oil.

Snow Geese migration through the last light of the day with moonrise in late fall.  A sensitive tonalist piece. The snow geese moving to a safe spot for the night. I marvel at how birds survive winters. Sometimes the weather is so brutally cold and I would be out there painting and thinking how much colder must it be to fly through this air and expose all your warm pockets of air under your wings.

Wetland Roses

This plein air oil painting shows the wetlands at their most beautiful.  During fall and transition seasons, they come to life as birds migrate and changes begin to happen so fast.  Transitions from summer to fall and fall to winter. This is the tail end of the fall season depicted as the cold begins to set in and ice begins to form.  This plein air oil painting was painted on location as the sunset and the moon rose.    This piece was exhibited in the Paint America Competition and South Eastern Wildlife Exhibition.   

Icing Up

Color Beads, 16x20 oil - I started working on this piece as a reflection painting of the fall grasses. I then took it to another level and eliminated the horizon line, shoreline and made it an abstract piece. As I was working on it, it occurred to me that these type of reflections reminded me of the beading on the Indian dresses and I wondered if this hadn’t been the inspiration for bead work, hence the color beading effect that I interpreted into this work. This Piece sold at the CM Russell Auction from which I had made this canvas print.

Warming in the Sun

The Dancing Wild Wheat and Red Wing Black Birds was a favorite subject. The birds would bob about on the stalks of wheat eagerly feasting on the wheat seeds. Then en masse rise together and swoop around then all land in a new location. What was fun to listen too was the cackling of the birds in the field sometimes you couldn’t see a one if they were on the ground but you knew they were there. The original is 16×24 plein air oil painting. The “Wild Wheat and Red Wing Black Birds” is part of the Chesapeake Plein air Series.

Wild Wheat and Red Wing Black Birds

This piece was done on a bluff it is a plein air painting. The bluff was particular beautiful because it had breyers (The French word for Heather) Intermixed with wild wheat on the cliff. Usually the wind would blow which I painted in another piece called Wild wheat and Breyers. But this particular day it was a lull and the sailor out sailing in this cove expressed the blissful moment.
