Another short reel of a recent still life that was one of my favorites. Probably my favorite way to paint. #watercolor #loosewatercolor

Never been here before and it’s an amazing place. The Campion Center in Weston MA. Extremely windy so this is one hand on the brush and the other holding everything down #pleinair #campioncenter #watercolorlandscape #watercolorpleinair #westonma

Another day and yet another plein air location. Today was the Case House in Weston. Quite a busy subject so trimmed it down to the essentials. This isn't finished yet but the colors and shapes are in and I'm cautiously optimistic #pleinair #westonma #casehouseweston

Crazy difficult this. This time I tried a sketchbook and sketch easel with pan paints. I thought it would be easier having a smaller setup. It wasn't. Hated it. Made it twice as hard. Loved the subject though the result was very so so. #watercolorpleinair #pleinair #trombettas

Today was a private lesson day and this was my demo version. A little stilted as all demo pieces tend to be due to breaking things down. But a nice informal arrangement #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #art #floralart #pansies #pansypainting #flowerpainting #chromamagic

We bought a new cat bed for the studio as one cat always sleeps on the floor and one on the chair. This is the result.

Chair with no cat and cat bed with no cat.

Each morning, @micheleclamp.com gets the “treat mouse” out for the Chroma and Magic puss. We both sing “🎶 treat mouse, treat mouse! 🎶” to the tune of Street Life with Randy Crawford. So that’s how that’s all going. 🤣 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_... #cats #chromamagic #magicpuss #catsofbluesky

What I will do to avoid painting - part 37. I have a load of spheres and cubes that I use for painting practice. They've been rolling around in a cardboard box for years. Finally got round to putting them in racks and made some foam cosies to stop them rattling. Very satisfying. #painting

Rachel again today in portrait class. Good to have a second shot at someone. It was touch and go half way through but just about pulled it off. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait #portraitpainting

Ok. So reviewing yesterday's efforts much more work needed on the old drawing skills. Today - a quick #chromamagic demo on how much you can achieve with only a few colors and shapes and no fancy brushwork. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorflowers #floralart #art

We took a trip on the train out to the big city today to see Mr Winslow Homer, and Mr John Copley. A little 🧵 of some snaps I took with @micheleclamp.com 👇 #painting #museum #art

Homer at the MFA
The MFA houses the largest collection of Winslow Homer's watercolors in the world. In 1899, the Museum was the first institution to purchase a Homer watercolor, using a designated fund specifically for "modern pictures." Wealthy Bostonians acquired Homer's watercolors at a time when the medium was growing in popularity. Later, they gave many of these works to the MFA. William Sturgis Bigelow and John T.Spaulding were major collectors and donors of Asian art and of Homer's watercolors. The artist's relatives, as well as women collectors, such as Josephine (Moore) Dexter, Margaret L. (Chapin) Osgood, and artist Sarah Wyman Whitman, gave other works on paper.
Watercolor is extremely sensitive to light, which limits how often these pictures can be displayed. Though many of the collectors listed above lived with Homer's art, most of their watercolors entered the MFA during the early 20th century, before they were exposed to excessive amounts of light. This has enabled the Museum to preserve these works for future generations.
