Paint Annapolis!

I along with other painters from the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters group braved the heat this past June to participate in Paint Annapolis 2013. I found a quiet shady spot and quickly completed this study.

More Scratchboard Fun

Decided to work on a seasonal scratchboard illustration. Once I finished the original piece, I then scanned it into my computer and added color in Photoshop. I think I'll do some more of these types of illustrations. They are a lot of fun to do!

Sometimes you get wet...

I really was yearning all winter for a snow painting, then one day in March we had a heavy wet snowfall. I dashed out early in the morning to a field nearby and did color sketches and took some photos. While I was there, the weather changed quickly, started to sleet, then rain. Getting soaked, I ran back to my suv and found the wheels rapidly sinking in the mud. After a few tries, my trusty AWD got me out of the mud and back home to dry off and warm up.
And here is the result!

Still waiting for the warm...

The weather is still a bit chilly. The blossoms on my cherry tree are still hiding. Spring come already, I want to get out and paint!
Here is another of my studio studies, I decided to try my luck with using a palette knife. I love the texture and loose feeling it gives to a painting. Hope you agree!

Waiting for the warm...

While working away in my studio waiting for the warm weather to arrive, I did a few small still life paintings. This one was an exercise in handling greens. Green can be such a difficult color!

Back on memory lane...

I was sent to work on the Pan American games in Cuba for the ABC network in the 1990's. What a wonderful experience! I took tons of photos and have decided to use them as a basis for a series of paintings of Cuba.

It has been an interesting winter. Took a few painting workshops and have been busy in my studio. I promise I will be posting more in the coming days. Plan to get out when the weather warms up a bit and doing some "en plein air"!

Chilly Morning

There was a chill in the air this morning. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Time for harvests, crisp pears and apples, scents of cinnamon and cloves.
