Field of Wildflowers

Field of Wildflowers     5"x 7"  pastel  SOLD

I spotted this amazing field of wildflowers while out and about one day.  Even on that over-cast day, the intensity of the color and the size of it made it appear to glow.  I stopped and took a bunch of photos since I was short on time, took them home and painted this later in the day.  I also took some time to look them up the flower on the computer to see what it was.  It's wild mustard.  Now, I have seen this stuff growing around here before, but not in such a large area.  It really was spectacular.

Summer Cornfield

Summer Cornfield   4"x 6"  SOLD

Today I had the opportunity to paint on the property of my friend Karlene.  When we got there, she gave us the grand tour - complete with all kinds of lovely scenes, making it hard to choose just one!  After a delicious lunch of BLTs, salad and cheesecake with fresh berries, we headed to the location where we had left our gear, set up and painted.  There is nothing nicer than talking and sharing the joy we have in the natural world with other artists.  It was a great way to spend a beautiful day!  SOLD

Sparkling Trees in Scottsville

This simple scene in Scottsville captured my attention right away as I was looking for a place to set up. It was pretty warm and windy though. My easel has a habit of loosening up over time, making my drawing board bounce around in the wind. Very frustrating! As the morning progressed the backlighting on the trees became just beautiful.
