"beach " oil 12" by 18" Susan Schwake-Larochelle
Today is one of those perfect beach days. Sunny warm, light breeze lovely smells in the air.
Schade, (pity) that I can't buzz out to the beach today. Instead I will work on getting our fall school brochure done now that I have dropped off my seven paintings near the beach (got a glimpse of the water) in Portsmouth for the show on Friday night. The brochure will coincide with other BIG news of which is so close I guess I will have to leak it to you now...
artstream will launch a new facet to our bricks and mortar gallery - our online gallery shop! Look for it this week!
We are very excited to offer our gallery pieces through the web and show original works starting at $25. Everyone can afford something original in artwork! I will link it from our regular site and this blog. We are thrilled to have this feature as we keep finding people from around the country dropping in to the site and our shop on their travels through New England who contact us and now we can be "out there" in the cybersphere showing a smattering of what we do and who we represent. Wheeeee!
Oh yes, for those who have asked about the above painting ... it has been in my studio for seven years as a calm port to many a storm raging in that space. Sort of a studio sidekick? See more sidekicks at Studio Friday.
Enjoy this glorious day which no word of the day can express!

Oh my, oh my, oh my, I LOVE this painting!!! It makes me so happy just looking at it. I can imagine myself on the beach, listening to the waves and feeling at peace. The colours of the waves, light green in the shallow areas, and the blue and purple brushstrokes in the sky really add depth and movement to the painting. Will it be for sale on your online gallery?

so excited about your shop as well... it's going to be fabulous my dear!

Ahhh...such wonderful atmosphere! I feel as if I'm being transported.... How exciting that you're going to have an online shop! Your gallery has actually been a topic of conversation on my home front lately as we live only a few hours from Rochester. I also have a friend with a gallery in Ogunquit, so we've been talking about taking a weekend gallery trip sometime in the fall, going through NH and southern ME. In the meantime, I'll enjoy seeing your new site when it's launched!
Beautiful sea scene. Makes my heart ache to be by the ocean.
This has a feeling of home, ocean breeze I feel from your post today!
