Morning's Quiet Secret - Original acrylic plein air landscape painting of Pinchot Park Lake inlet by Pennsylvania Contemporary Artist Pat Koscienski

"Morning's Quiet Secret"

11" x 14"

Acrylic on linen canvas

 

This painting was painted plein air at Pinchot State Park in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania.  It required a 2nd visit where several more hours were put into the painting.  A piece of land juts out into a small portion of the lake, much like a peninsula, creating this tranquil cove.  It was very peaceful the first visit there.  On the 2nd visit I had 2 visitors who came to fish and read.  The grandmother did the reading and a young boy did the fishing.  It made for an interesting morning.  Once again, I am having trouble with google rotating my photos.  After many hours, days, spent retaking photos with my Canon I decided to try my Hewlett-Packard with success.  However, the color of the blues are not as true as the Canon.  If you have any questions, or wish to purchase, contact PAT.  If you would like to see more of my paintings, both representational and abstract, please visit my website and BlogSpot at:

Getting Back On Track by Daily Painter of Pennsylvania Mary Beth Brath

Pinchot State Park in Late Summer - Early Fall by Mary Beth Brath

8x10" Acrylic on Canvas

The year of 2011 was such a whirlwind. This is actually the first post for me on the DPP blog in about 2 months, but I visited the blog almost everyday.  Yesterday while working at the gallery, I finished 2 paintings that have been near completion for months.  That felt great! Today, I worked on taking better photos of my work.  The painting in this post was completed a while back, but I re-took the photo in better lighting.

 My business partner and I will be featuring our own work during the month of January at our gallery.  The exhibit is for the public to "meet the owners" as we start our first year of business.  I am very busy this week finishing several paintings started in 2011. Join us this Friday, January 6th from 6 - 9pm at our First Friday Opening Reception. The exhibit will include older works and new works not yet seen by the public.
