Even though it is sweltering outside, people would rather be outdoors than in a dark cafe. The cafe interiors are a welcome sight on a rainy day, of course. But it is always nice to look at the effects that the sunshine creates on the stone walkways, buildings, and awnings from a shady spot.

I haven't been posting to my blog as much as in the past because blogging seems to have been replaced by social media or other websites. I plan to do a mass upload of all of my newer work in the near future. I also plan to have a couple of studio cleaning sales to clear space for new work. I haven't been as happy with my work during the past couple of years. Stress inducing occurrences seem to have affected my style. I feel that I am finally becoming myself again and I plan to share the new work that reflects that soon. In the meantime, this is one of the paintings that I completed in 2023. It was inspired by adventure on the Camino de Santiago. It is said that the real Camino starts after you have completed the walk. This has turned out to be a massive understatement. I believe I flew from Europe into a parallel universe. <br /><p></p><p>This painting shows that you can take two different roads. One is the correct "way" the other will get you lost. It seems that I have been lost for many years and the Camino has put me on the path that I should have taken all along. There were many strange coincidences that have illustrated to me that things will happen when they are supposed to and that you should always trust your instincts, even if it makes you seem difficult.

My mother and I participated in the local Art Walk to try to branch out into new territory. We stayed a few nights and really enjoyed the perfect sand of the beaches and the slightly retro vibe of the town. On this particular day, there was rain.

I sometimes travel better alone, as I don't have to worry that my subject-matter-gathering isn't getting in the way of what would normally be a relaxing trip. I feel free to explore, change plans on a whim, and eat less than impressive meals on the run. On this trip, I was in search of small towns near Marblehead and Rockport, and everything in between. I drove toward Ipswich and loved all the food stands and the sights of families enjoying their vacations. I noticed a sign for the Crane Estate, which sounded impressive, so on a whim, I toured the grounds. I hope to go back and tour the inside of the estate as well as the connected beach.

Some of the paintings, including this one, were painted early in the year for special events, and I just never added them to the blog. In other cases when my subject matter seems random, it is because places I've visited will pop into my head, and outside of teleporting there, painting them is the best way to revisit them since teleportation isn't possible (yet.) <br /><br />This scene was painted from a photo that I took in Cape May, New Jersey many years ago. I often worry that people think I am a creeper for taking pictures of random families at the beach. But, it is for the purpose of preserving happy moments on canvas that I witness. I painted this for the Beach Haven Art Walk in New Jersey, but the painting did not sell there. It is on 10"h x 8"w stretched canvas and is at <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><a href="https://www.latrobeartcenter.org/">Latrobe Art Center.</a></b></span><br /><br /><p></p>Jonelle Summerfieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17438347347665838747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473367538026437494.post-67249756892767676262022-11-08T13:51:00.006-05:002022-11-08T13:52:40.090-05:00Pale Sunflowers<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiZMDd-BZUGzuLf9ZyehnCTgnQ06htHDx22aPv6EUYDnboLdUpcVTbaFvtTSiK7v78xjxjV8bOLJ_Hdh_zyri8zepAuPTXkgoJ6k0hSvfOX_BoG4-KvY692TQ35-mmBYn_339JDEhYlIf1g4JCd1eI3b1s0fkVPIRQSbz5yO8-E8AXQhTlRc8sH0UvQ/s2048/DSC02613.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1003" height="560" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiZMDd-BZUGzuLf9ZyehnCTgnQ06htHDx22aPv6EUYDnboLdUpcVTbaFvtTSiK7v78xjxjV8bOLJ_Hdh_zyri8zepAuPTXkgoJ6k0hSvfOX_BoG4-KvY692TQ35-mmBYn_339JDEhYlIf1g4JCd1eI3b1s0fkVPIRQSbz5yO8-E8AXQhTlRc8sH0UvQ/w275-h560/DSC02613.jpg" width="275" /></a></div>I loved the uniquely pale tone of these sunflowers that I purchased from a local farmers' market during the summer.

I still paint from photos, but with all of the cameras trying to do us favors by making everything look unrealistically perfect, I would rather record subjects with my own eyes. I sadly didn't measure this painting before delivering it to <b><a href="https://www.latrobeartcenter.org/">Latrobe Art Center,</a></b> but I believe it is 16"h x 12"w oil on stretched linen. <br /></p>Jonelle Summerfieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17438347347665838747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473367538026437494.post-39350794892542411642022-10-30T18:29:00.001-04:002022-10-30T18:29:36.370-04:00Yellow Creek Sailboat II<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6wm00_XbE6Q5fFnNy2dUIZIPrVFWClMSh1ikyuTCt5GQDWCRMZ1Fh6Gzkyezly306J15LP9NGl_Q-P_7aEKh8jMMUfC2SiGrq6UvjrsZpZwz0u-JuWu4Ro6Q5ykMaIozJZauU6f7-Cr2ooWx1OAN02hCQCxWbEdolffJGZEo63zhCabthWJB0DMlveg/s2048/DSC02095.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1495" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6wm00_XbE6Q5fFnNy2dUIZIPrVFWClMSh1ikyuTCt5GQDWCRMZ1Fh6Gzkyezly306J15LP9NGl_Q-P_7aEKh8jMMUfC2SiGrq6UvjrsZpZwz0u-JuWu4Ro6Q5ykMaIozJZauU6f7-Cr2ooWx1OAN02hCQCxWbEdolffJGZEo63zhCabthWJB0DMlveg/s320/DSC02095.jpg" width="234" /></a></div>I'm not sure if Yellow Creek Sailboat II is actually the title of this painting, but it is available at the <b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/SAMALigonier/">Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art</a></span></b> in Ligonier, PA.

Some of the squares were bustling with lively cafes and people walking from place to place. Other long and winding alleys were quiet, as they were probably inhabited by locals rather than tourists. Some of the alleys led to lively yet hidden squares, such as this one, which included a picturesque fountain.

It sometimes takes me a while to figure out how I want to tackle a subject, especially if it is a new place to me. I am often challenged by figuring out what size a painting should be. I determined that 18" x 24" was the optimal size for this painting. It is available on the UGallery website. <span style="color: #cc0000;"><span><b><a href="https://www.ugallery.com/art/oil-painting-marseille-harbor">This</a></b></span></span> is a link to my page on the site. </p><p>Marseille felt different than other European towns. It was quiet in the morning and afternoon, but at night, the sidewalks were lively, hosting crowds of people at outdoor cafes who watched soccer games on TVs. We sometimes had to walk onto the street to continue on our way to the harbor. At the harbor, families, individuals, locals, and tourists mingled<span style="background-color: white;"><span></span></span> together. Kids had entertaining toys, including sparklers, while vendors sold their wares. We enjoyed the scenery and the abundant seafood.
