Here is an easel snapshot of my early autumn morning plein air painting. Sorry about the iphone color here, but more updates to come: "Morning Path" 32 x 40 oil painting - in progress.
Here is an easel snapshot update of my early autumn basswood grouping in progress. I did a scrape and rework of many of the leaves so far. Sorry about the iphone color here, but more updates to come: "Fallen toward Fall" 24 x 36 oil painting - in progress.
This Rhododendron flower seized me last June, and some good weather allowed me to do it about 90% plein air. The brightness of the flower and shaded painting was a little hard on the eyes, but the solar power was also at the heart of the inspiration: "Aglow" 16 x 12 oil painting.
The later part of the day was its own little miracle with this same blossom, and the afternoons with it were very peaceful. The bumblebee really did happen like this, and were added from memory in my studio: "Touched by June" 14 x 11 oil painting.
My newly opened blossoms endured 4 days of rain before getting to paint with them this year. Even though time after that was short, it was still so good to be with all the pinkness: "Afternoon Rhododendron" 18 x 26 oil painting.
These clouds struck this pose visible from my own backyard, and I liked the impression they left me with: "I Lift My Eyes to You" 7 x 10 oil painting.
Here is a mostly plein air painting inspired by the part of the year where the days of spring sun have finally convinced the trees that it's time to sprout their new leaves and start growing: "Restful Spring" 12 x 16 oil painting.
