. . . back to the drawing board
Hi all –
Seriously, 2 blogs? what was I thinking? It’s time to combine both of those blogs (this, the informal chatty space that covers my evolution from daily drawing back to oil painting and the more business-like page )
So please go to carolschweigert.com for a look at my new and old work and learn where my paintings can be seen.
An evening in the studio with Golden acrylic paints – on gessoed paper. Exploring the materials, hoping to connect with it in some way.
Today in Boston, we have flood warnings but all I dealt with was intermittent drizzle. I’m working on getting the hang of painting the local buildings.Seems flat – none of the depth of vista’s. Doh! Will need more work. This is a 10×10 oil paint on canvas looking at the corner of Fairfield and Beacon Streets. Ambivalent about scraping it down.
Postcards are quick, small (6×6) and maybe a little abstract. I’ve painted them in the countryside, now to try the city.
a tasty handful of chocolate eggs – thanks Elissa. Oil on linen 6×6. All gone now.
On the Esplanade in Boston’s Back Bay. 12 inch square oil on canvas.
Charlestown Morning
Damming The Charles
I’m very happy that two of my paintings – Charlestown Morning and Damming the Charles have been selected for the annual Off The Wall juried exhibition at Danforth Art in Framingham, MA.
Can’t wait to see the exhibit this summer, open from June 7 – August 2, 2015.
Back to the Charles River, and I wasn’t sure Spring would ever arrive. This is the iconic Longfellow Bridge now undergoing massive rebuilding. While the view shows Back Bay, the bridge connects East Cambridge and Beacon Hill. This was painted over 2 mornings.
6 inch sq stretched linen
Hoping to see these outside soon!

Here during an exceptionally snowy February in Boston I’m working on still life paintings.
