Muddy Waters – Carol Schweigert

Quick sketches from a picture perfect day on the Charles River

I was noodling tin my sketchbook for a couple hours while Boston came out to celebrate this very fine day.

What’s on my easel? Work in Progress

I was so happy with the first fog painting I thought I’d try scaling up with a variation. So far? Far too vibrant!

Work in Progress from a January photo of the Lagoon.

A taste of this year – 2018

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! I’ll blog next from New Mexico.

And now for something completely different . . .

Sunday morning is predicted to be warm and wonderfully autumnal and yet, I won’t be out painting. Wish me luck! But I finished this Thursday night . . .

Nearly there – wip

Just some details needed (or not?) to complete this piece. Crazy how fast the light moves in the early evening. Oil on linen 11×14 inches.

Boston from Hayden Library – wip

I’m working just between MIT’s Hayden Library and the river. This 11×14 oil paint on linen is slowly progressing, I need a few early evenings with the right amount of sunset. It’s been too cloudy or rainy but this coming weekend is looking good.

Again . . . really? I don’t normally paint this way. Charles River Basin

Another gorgeous summer morning, spent overlooking the Charles River.I think one more visit to finally resolve the guard rails and then to the studio to add a composite element – some classical? runners? This is 20×24 inch linen canvas. Yesterday I spent time in the studio . . .
