These are the demos from my June, 2009 workshop on Monhegan Island.
I do not have control of the rain.
I touched up the paintings a bit in the studio.
Mostly I simplified the shapes, taking out what isn't necessary.
Simlify simplify simplify.
On the red house demo I did the most work... taking out the house on the right side that took away from the painting...(when in doubt/leave it out).
