Thaw Malin Art

I WORK EN PLEIN AIR, OUT IN THE COUNTRYSIDE… Welcome. I am back to painting again after a sabbatical that included a few pieces done for charitable fund raisers. I am continuing to make small, 6" x 8", landscape oils, but not every day. I am also working on larger pieces. Every time I finish a painting, I will place it here on my website. If you see something you'd like to purchase, email me. Thank you for enjoying my work and keeping me creating new pieces. Your interest stimulates and inspires me and has made me a better painter. Sign up for my emails and I will send you an image of each new painting. I love to paint and am happy to share my painting experience with you. Most of my work is impressionistic landscape oils, inspired by the beauty of the Island of Martha's Vineyard where I live.

$\"V. H. Water Works\"$

“V. H. Water Works”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel.

I couldn’t resist painting the island’s other Water Works. I no sooner set up my easel on location than my cell rang with a request for a painting donation for the Preservation of the Water Works building. Thinking fast, I said I would do 2 paintings today and donate 1 and post the other. The presure was on, as someone was coming to pick up the, as yet, unpainted painting in 2 hours. They received a very nice wet painting to auction off and I was able to do this 2nd one …This painting has SOLD.

“Water Works”, this is a Small painting, 6″x 8″, oil on canvas panel.

I have always liked walking in to the Water Works, but could never find the right vantage point from which to paint. I have to thank the Martha’s Vineyard Surfcasters Association for donating and installing a bench along the side of the path and the pond from where I was able to capture today’s painting.This painting has SOLD.
