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.

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.

We had some some funky weather which shortened my time with this short-season piece even more. I was able to get some of its brightness into the left side though, and now just have the lower right to go for next year: "Family Tree in Spring" 12 x 16 oil painting - in progress.

When I returned to this short-season piece, a "drawing problem" in our trees caught my eye, so most of the time went into correcting that. I'll look forward to seeing it all again next April: "Springtime Rushhhhh" 8 x 15 oil painting - in progress.

On an evening walk, I caught a glimpse of something worthwhile: "A Glimpse of Peace" 5 x 8 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.
