MEADOW WEEDS, EN PLEIN AIR

Ten thousand pictures come & go every day. Just dont have the time to paint every picturesque corner of Delaware County. It's always a treat to be able to set up my easel to start something. This is an easy scene, since Summer is all about greens.

an excuse to play with pretty greens

mostly strokes, that's how grass grows

I usually rely on my memory to finish the painting in my studio


finish!

ARTIST OPEN STUDIO

It's open studio time! It seems there's a different art tour happening every weekend. I wonder if artists will out number farmers eventually, in my area. This gallery at Rosemary Farm is most interesting. You just have to look out the window & see the artist's inspirations. This horse sanctuary is started by one little artist, she's doing some amazing things!

PAINTING SUMMER FOG

Another morning of trying to captue the light & atmosphere. I use clear blue & soft purple hues to convey the tonal feeling of how the fog softens the whole landscape.
