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.

Afternoon Lull

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.

Les Roches & Les Vagues

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.

A Day in the Park

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.
