Georgina Rey commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"These are wooden fishing boats called Pirogues in Mauritius. Boat builder's yards are wonderful sketching venues. The first and third picture were done on site (I did put the men in and shadows in at home). The Second picture I couldn't…"
Arthur Kvarnstrom commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"Don, Both these painting are lovely. I do prefer the seccond however."
Lindy Du Toit commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"Don, both the lobster boats are stunning, and both so different. You did well back then and even better in the now."
Lindy Du Toit commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"Leon, this is a stunning painting. Congratulations. and I love the water, it is so alive. Yes, sometimes the water around the West Coast of S Africa, where I live can look just like this.
Just wanted to say, I love all the boats,…"

clouds and wind...16x20
So yesterday I painted this....as the wind came up it blew little sticks on the painting....I had to repost because I plucked them off today....and reposted....
Donald Maier commented on Donald Maier's group SelfPortraits"We have this group for self-portraits here and one on Artistes de Studio. I think this one should be for sittings, in this case, looking into a mirror and working. The other can be from photographs. I am betting that the ones on this site are more…"
Donald Maier commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"I guess a good comparison could be made between the lobster boat from Maine in the 70's, to this lobster boat done more recently in 2000 in New Jersey. I think there has been some improvement in technique."
Donald Maier commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"It is the sleek shapes and elegant lines that make boats so wonderful a subject. Same thing with airplanes I think.
Here is a lobster boat out of the water on one of early watercolor trips to Maine back in the early 70's."
Leon Holmes commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"Yes, I don't really like these modern plastic boats but it was parked up next to us on the day so I painted it more for the process than to create a nice painting. Happy surprise :)

Emily Passman commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"Usually only boats that are old and decrepit can be painted with character...you proved me wrong...lovely."
Leon Holmes commented on Donald Maier's group Nautical"And here is one from Australia. A lot would question the colour of the water but believe me it is this colour if not even brighter :)

Breakthrough from my dryspell
I guess one could consider working in pastels for 9 or 10 months, a "dry spell" of sorts. They certainly are dry. But if you have been paying any attention, I have been doing daily work, sometimes 4 or 5 pieces per day. These can mount up quickly. I stopped working about a month or so ago. Around when the leaves began to bud out and changed the look of the landscape. Too much green for me.
I now have triple what I need to have my show in September. Suzie is going crazy thinking she…

OPA show and painting around Fredericksburg, TX
This past weekend I exhibited in the OPA National Show. While I was in Fredericksburg, TX, I went to the OPA paintout at the art school and property. I will be teaching a workshop there in Oct, so it was a perfect time to paint there and check out the grounds. There were so many choices to paint, old buildings, unique cabins, water, roads, gardens, trees, farm equipment, fields, everything and anything.
Since I've…

Mondays plein air
Today was able to get out in the sunshine to paint. I find it difficult to get inspired when its rain or cold to paint outside.
This is a 6x6 in oil on masonite board. I have been preparing my boards lately with W&N modeling paste applied with a credit card. It has just the right amount of tooth to drag the paint off.…
