Many Works in the Fire

I am working on several pieces of different sizes.  I continue to work on the two commissioned pieces of Cardinals and Orioles.  But the drying times are long probably due to the very hot and humid weather we are having.  I have a call from one gallery to bring in new works.  There is also a call from the Copley Society to enter a juried show.  So below are all those works.

Minkcove, Diptych 36"x48", Oil on Panel

Pictured above is the large piece begun for The Drawing Room in New Bedford.  Anthi Frangiadis, the owner, has approved.  It is a view of the marsh seen out my studio.

Unity,  18"x36", Oil on panel

The Copley Society of Art's Fall juried member show is entitled Unity. Their call states, "During these challenging and often divisive times we face, in this thematic juried show our artists will reflect through their work the important and positive ways in which unity is celebrated. We invite your entries and interpretations."  Since I don't usually paint the required size or thematically other than birds, I was uncertain about an image.  Then, I remember the dories in Kennebunkport and decided that they were the perfect image of unity.  

And, finally with the cardinals I have inserted the last bird.
