Sheila Newquist is an artist in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Studying watercolor with Susan, she was able to dust off the brushes again.

Sheila grew up enjoying drawing and won a “most artistic” award in her graduating high school class. She went on to pursue an education in nursing, became absorbed raising a family, and continues to maintain a full time career in the healthcare industry. After a nearly 13 year hiatus from doing any artwork at all, Sheila was fortunate enough to be introduced to Susan Shaw in 2012. For this reason,

her focus has been primarily watercolor. She has also attended workshops with Frances Topping, Natalie Pfanstiehl, Bob Noreika, Ralph Acosta, Cindy Baron, and Lorraine Bromley. Sheila is a Juried Artist Member at Wickford Art Association, a Juried Artist Member at South County Art Association, an Artist Member at The Attleboro Art Museum, an Artist Member at Rhode Island Watercolor Society and at New England Watercolor Society. She paints with several plein air painting groups and has participated in several exhibits at Spring Bull Gallery in Newport, RI, Courthouse Center for the Arts, and Gilbert Stuart Museum and Bell Gallery in addition to the member exhibits.

ArtVie and Art Cart met up with their operators (and a couple other painters) for an amazing plein air session at Dog Beach in Jerusalem, RI! My painting needs some pondering…

It was a most perfect evening at Fort Wetherill this week with the The Portsmouth Arts Guild Center for the Arts group. Felt a little odd without our friend, Graeme Smith there. But I’m sure he was there in spirit!

🔴 Big thanks to charlestowngalleryri for the sales of these three to a buyer from Pennsylvania who is a lotus enthusiast! (the last 2 images are cropped weirdly) Many beautiful works for the Flowers and Gardens show thru 9/4, as well as throughout the gallery. I’ll be delivering more later this week for the next show - Farmer’s Market.

I’ve recently been challenging myself to paint larger format while plein air painting. This was last week’s outing with matunuck_art_league at Sprague Bridge over the Narrow River in Narragansett, RI.

Always fun to go out painting with the portsmouthartsg! New spot for us - Middletown Valley Park - where there was no lack of green!😂 Managed to break it up.

Special thanks to the Hale House RI! I had a terrific time giving a painting demo today to a warm and supportive full-house audience. Painted the Hale House itself, using a value underpainting and splatter technique with watercolor. May tweak the painting to finish it off.
