This small watercolor study was up for auction on my Daily Paintworks Gallery page.

It was mostly about the clouds.

The St. Lucie River on a Tuesday

May 24, 2017 | Doreen E. Lepore

These two plein air paintings of the St. Lucie River were done at the Veterans Memorial Park in Port St. Lucie, FL. One is smaller. I was on a huge boardwalk. Several other people painted from the giant size picnic pavillion. It was a breezy, pleasant day with jumping fish.

Changes

April 29, 2017 | Doreen E. Lepore

My website was getting too confusing for me so I’ve started another website strictly for illustrations. This website will continue to be for fine art.

The new blog/website is here: https://doreeneleporeillustrator.wordpress.com/

I’ll probably still be cross pollinating them for a while – transitions are confusing.

Another Tuesday painting

April 15, 2017 | Doreen E. Lepore

Recently we, my plein air group, went to the Indiantown Marina. I had no idea how interesting it would be since this was my first visit there. The marina is mostly a boat yard, with rows and rows of dry docked boats. The boat I painted was called Topaz. I took pictures of many other boats and hope to paint them in the future.

Plein Air Tuesdays

Here is a plein air painting recently done on a Tuesday, of course.

St. Christopher's - 10x8 oil on panel — St. Christopher’s – 10×8 oil on panel

This church is at the center of Hobe Sound, FL and is different on every side. So, I need to go back 3 more times at least to paint the whole church. It was a clear beautiful day and I was happy with this small charming painting.

Tuesday Paintings House of Refuge Beach

March 1, 2017 | Doreen E. Lepore

Last Tuesday, not yesterday but Tuesday of last week, we painted at the House of Refuge on Hutchinson Island, a narrow strip of land called Gilbert’s Bar. It was a nice breezy day and I decided to paint the beach instead of the buildings. The limestone rocks alone are an interesting subject. Even though I had time for a second small painting I still painted the rocks and ocean instead of the buildings. So here are mama and baby paintings from last Tuesday.

Pastel Demo and more Tuesday Paintings

Recently I was asked to do a demonstration of my method of painting with watercolor and pastels at a local art club. It was a fun morning and well received. Here is the painting I did for them that I started with a watercolor underpainting.

Tuesday Paintings

December 31, 2016 | Doreen E. Lepore

On Tuesdays I’ve been plein air painting with a local group. We go to nearby parks and paint for about 2.5 hours. It’s great practice and fun to get out and paint.

Here are a few from past Tuesdays;
