Notes from my easel – July 30, 2010


By Barbara DuBois Hageman


"Hot Dinghy" (Sold)




Many thanks to the 7 new owners of painting acquired at the fair last weekend! I hope they keep you thinking of the Chatham side of Cape Cod each time you look at them!

Meanwhile, see Barbara's Original Art Website  for other seaside works as I finish them and post them.

The next Chatham Days art fair will be Wednesday & Thursday, August 4-5, from 9AM-5PM in front of the Chatham Community Center at 702 Main Street where this is ample parking. We will be in the same location, #11. Then, on Saturday & Sunday, August 14-15th we will return again


This week I’m all about boats and dinghies. Here are some that are just off the easel. Each is 4”x6” and is framed in a 3” wide gold-tone metal leaf plein air frame. They hang well together as a “Dinghy Quartet” but are also available individually for $125 each. This size, nicely framed, is a good special occasion, hostess, or memory gift.






“Blue Boy”



"Red"


"A Little Tabasco"



"Blue Belle"












If you are a sailor, you might like my boats at low tide series, and the next one, “Golden Days,” a 12”x24” oil-on-canvas, for $675, will be at the booth on August 4-5th .



If you are a collector and purchase, or have purchased several of my works, you will enjoy a 10% discount off the listed price!


See you at the August 4-5th Fair!
