Shady Spot

I found a shady spot enjoyed by several cattle. It's a small tree but casts enough of a shadow to offer confort on a hot day.

This is 12 X 9, oil on linen, with just a few additions to add when it dries a bit.

This is a private beach in Newport, Rhode Island, a place I get to visit frequently. It's different every time, beautiful to observe as the sea and sky change. The beach is all stones, each polished and rounded from eons of washing and movement. It's not for sale, but a gift for a friend, and I just wanted to show it to you.

The Wreck at Beaver Tail Lighthouse

My latest painting of The Wreck at Beaver Tail Lighthouse

This lighthouse is a fun place to visit, especially on a day with high surf. It's at the south end of Jamestown, RI, at the west edge of the Newport Harbor entrance.

Sachuest Point Park

Here is a finished view of Sachuest Point Park in Newport, RI. I'm happy with it! There's a bench near the southern tip of the park and trail, on the east side, so this view is as one would be looking to the northeast.

It's a lovely place to walk, and the rocky coast offers many interesting vistas. I'll be making many more oil paintings from this park, both plain aire and studio pieces.

24" x 12", oil on canvas. SOLD

A Private Beach View

A fine start of a 12" by 24" oil of a private beach view, on the east side of Newport, RI. There's more to do once it dries, but I'm happy with this image.

Carmita Sailing Yacht

Another classic yacht is here portrayed in beautiful nocturne colors.

Just 7X9 inches, pastel on cotton paper. SOLD

Mariquita Classic Sailing Yacht

The Mariquita (Ladybug), a classic racing yacht, from an old photo, now as a colorful pastel. A King's Cup champion, this 19 meter classic beauty is portrayed here in exaggerated late afternoon colors.

Just 7X9 inches, pastel on cotton paper. SOLD

Castle Hill Lighthouse

As a nocturne we can see the red warning beacon of the Castle Hill Lighthouse, and being situated so close to the water, it's easy to imagine violent waves and tough weather along the rocky coast.

This small pastel is available through the Sheldon Fine Art Gallery at Bowen's Wharf in Newport, RI.

Sachuest Point Park / Start

This is an underpainting and a good start for a view at Sachuest Point Park in Newport, RI. See above for the more developed image. There's a bench near the southern tip of the park and trail, on the east side, so this view is as one would be looking to the northeast.

It's a lovely place to walk, and the rocky coast offers many interesting vistas. I'll be making many more oil paintings from this park, both plain aire and studio pieces.

I plan to add a few more details to this one, but will keep the existing color scheme. I'll make another similar painting with more green and natural colors, but I love this fall looking contrast of orange and blues. Perhaps the trees and grasses would turn this color after a hurricane sprays saltwater. I've seen that kind of salt burn along the coastal vegetation in North Carolina after a bad storm. It takes a while, but returns to green in time.

Call for the price.

Newport Harbor Light for Christmas

This is the Newport Harbor Lighthouse on Goat Island in Newport, Rhode Island. It's actually decorated like this for Christmas but I've added the internal red glow.

This 8x10 pastel is available through the Sheldon Fine Art Gallery at Bowen's Wharf in Newport.

Sheep May Safely Graze

Yes, I placed sheep in this one. And there's a bunny on the lawn of the house picture!

Watch a movie of all three in progress.

Fini! Nash Hopper House 1772

Turned in three framed pictures. Show is tonight. There’s a bunny on the lawn.

To describe myself and my art is to span a range of media, subjects, and techniques. I've used and tried everything from pastels to oils, and created many illustrations, fine portraits, plein air day paintings, large studio paintings, and commissions.

I always enjoy mentoring serious students and occasionally I teach classes.

I'm one of those artists who have quite a bit of experience making art in public, where people can witness my paintings take shape. One of the joys of making art is sharing art, and while working in environments where people can see and speak with you, they often inquire about my materials and want to share stories of art and artists that have meant something to them.

I usually offer for any children who might be watching, to help me, to do a little mixing of paint on my palette, and then let them apply some paint to my canvas (under my direction, of course). Most kids find that to be a cool experience, first seeing all my colors and how they can be mixed to make new colors, and they and their parents can't believe I had let them touch my canvas. I love trying to be a bit inspirational with people, especially children. I'd like everyone to be as comfortable with the making of art as I am!

I'm glad you're here ! This is all my work, my paintings, except for the Monets of course! I'm painting full time and glad for it. I hope you will check back often.

I'd be very happy to hear from you. Write or call!

Some of the art shown here is available for sale or will be available at various galleries. Please call or write!

ABOUT MY MONET CRITIQUE

I grew up with a decent reproduction of this famous Monet painting above. One hundred years after the French artist made it, it was hanging right over the TV console in our living room. Anytime we spent looking at the TV, this painting by Monet was in view, and so it was subconsciously ingrained into my psyche.

From an early age I was influenced by Monet. We share the same birthday, November 14, as does King Charles, something my mother was fond of telling me. I saw some other pictures by Monet, even was appointed to a committee at school to purchase a framed reproduction as a class gift, and we chose one of Monet's sailboat paintings, The Bridge at Argenteuil.

I was a prolific little artist, always drawing something, eagerly involved in any art activity at school or elsewhere. In fact, in the second grade I won a city wide poster contest sponsored by The Humane Society. My creation was crude, of course, and typical for a child, but empathetic and a sad illustration of abuse and neglect of a poor dog. I can still see the picture in my mind's eye, but I don't believe it was ever returned to me or my parents--I wish I had it!

After that minor victory (but it was a blue ribbon and certificate for my grade in all of Pittsburgh) I quickly became the class artist as well as the family artist. My theory about artistic development in children will come out later in my critiques, I don't want to get too far off track. Just please try to get the idea that I'm a grateful person and glad I got to develop my artistic talents and still get to paint, and Monet has always been a part of that!

Below and elsewhere are links to video chats I'll provide while examining Monet's paintings. Transcripts will be below the videos in YouTube. I'm just getting started with this project--stand by and check in often. Thanks! --JHA
