Fashionable Figures on the Beach


Eugene Boudin by Betty Ann Morris
It is that time of year again. Spring Bulls Fake and Forgery show.  
  I first fell in love with this painting years ago at the MFA Boston.  How could you not love the wonderful Civil War era dresses and parasols the ladies would wear to the beach.    It was a challenge to do this in a 6 x 8 size.    Now the challenge of finding just the right frame.  Arnold Art here I come

Chilly Morning


Tonalist painting done one chilly morning in Spring.  The sun was just starting to come up.  Not a cloud in the sky.  The birds were beginning to fill the air with sweet sound.

New Gallery opens Harbor Fine Art Newport RI


Harbor Fine Art
NEW ART GALLERY OPENING IN NEWPORT’S
HISTORIC HILL DISTRICT


Newport, RI – June 9 , 2009: The latest addition to Newport’s local art scene, is the 

Grand Opening of a collaborative art gallery at 134 Spring Street, in the quaint Historic 

Hill neighborhood of downtown Newport: “Harbor Fine Art”
Proprietor and renowned local artist Betty Ann Morris, has transformed the corner 
storefront of her 1700’s building into a spectacular showcase for local artists. Joining 
forces with her in this venture are fellow painters John MacGowan, Mark Fernandez, 
 Jonathan McPhillips and Edward Fay. 
“We wanted to create a space to present what some of Newport’s best artists  have to offer,
 and most of our contemporary oil paintings do reflect both the history, feel and charm of our city”
says Betty Ann. The gallery also gives the opportunity for other art forms to be displayed,
 such as the innovative stained glass works by Laura Fernandez. 
Conveniently located in downtown Newport, on historic Spring Street with neighboring 

Antique Shops and Trinity Church, Harbor Fine Art is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm, 

with extended Summer hours. The gallery is also a working Studio where 

several of the artists create their work. Artwork can also be viewed on the galleries 

of their website: www.harborfineart.com

Painting barefoot with the warm sand under my feet.  It has been a long winter.  Put my feet in.  Burrrrr! But

The Wedding Astors Beechwood Newport RI


The Wedding
Had the pleasure of attending a wonderful friends wedding in October at Astor's Beechwood in Historic Newport RI.  I was supposed to do a landscape as their gift.  Captured a few photo's at the wedding that meant so much more.  Here is the painting of the groom caught in the mirror behind the bride.  Once dry I will glaze and make it look a little more mirror like.
Hope they like it.
