My Back Yard
My Back Yard is an 8"x10" plein air oil painting on canvas that took me 3 or 4 sessions on my porch to complete. Light changes so fast early in the morning that I only had about an hour each morning to work on it. My back yard is a peaceful retreat from daily stress. The colored stone walkway leads from the garage to my studio door.

July Morning
July Morning, plein air, oil on canvas on panel, 12 x 9 inches. This is another park painting, but I used "artistic license" to add water where there was no water. It was a beautiful morning to be painting in the Grace Dunn Richardson Park.

Summer Evening
Plein air painting, 8"x10" oil on panel. This is the third painting I did at the farm last week. I didn't quite finish it, so I finished it tonight. I guess I can still call it a plein air painting since I did almost all of it on location.

Summer Flowers
11x14 acrylic on canvas board. You guessed it--another demo for my painting classes at the Museum. It's fun to paint shiny objects. Paint the shapes and colors you see in the reflections and not the object itself.

SUMMER SUN acrylic on board, 8x10
This is a demo I did for a group of kids at our museum Art Camp. It's an acrylic painting class that I'm teaching and they are doing some nice paintings. I don't normally use acrylics. Oils are my medium of choice, but sometimes acrylic paint has it's advantages and it's necessary in this case. I could almost call this a plein air painting, but not quite. My class area has a huge window and I painted this of the view outside the window--from inside. My students also painted their view out the window.

DAY AT THE BEACH oil on board, 6x8
This is a painting I did for the Different Strokes from Different Folks website. My favorite part of the photo was the reflections in the water, so I tried to emphasize those in the painting. I love to paint water.This was a beautiful day. It was sunny and the temperature was about 68 degrees. I wanted to paint en plein air, but the day was over before I got a chance to paint. Maybe tomorrow...
