Untitled

Untitled
8x10 oil on panel

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We sure did. I love everything about Christmas, but I'm always glad to get back to normal life.
I started this painting before Christmas and tried to finish it to make a card out of it, but, you know how crazy it gets this time of year. I finished it today. Everything about it was a challenge to me, but I learned so much. Thanks for visiting. God bless you in the coming new year.

plein air painting

Here's a painting I did a month ago, but have never gotten around to posting. I don't know why, I just haven't. I like the way it came out. I'm so attracted by that hazy blue atmospheric feeling in a painting and when i see that going on in a scene i just have to paint it. I came across this scene while on a walk around the block up from my house ( a very big block, it takes me a full hour of brisk walking to get around it). I knew I had to come back to paint it on another day when the lighting was the same. Luckily, there was a lady washing her car in the driveway just up from here and i was able to get permission to come and set up my easel any time I wanted. A week later, I did just that. I must say, I think I captured what I saw there that morning.

My son-in-law, Evan, encourged me to post regularly, and so I think I will. Thanks Evan.

8X6 oil on canvas board. $95 unframed, $125 framed.
