Paint Out at Smith Rock

We're beginning the Summer Paint-outs with a warm up session

Vivian and Shelly took advantage of the gorgeous weather to set up easels at Smith Rock to paint the amazing rock formations. It's so good to get out again and paint again!! 

                                                                                                                                                                                 

          

We had a successful day and each came away with a keepers although they may need some additional touching up. The  big Smith Rock paint out day is coming up on Saturday - June 22.  I'll be there, demonstrating along with 3 other members of the High Desert Art League. Come by and watch the painters at work.

                                                                                                                                                  

It's June already!! But I've been Painting . . .

New Works - Horses and Sunflowers

I spent more time painting "Running Free" to make it the perfect painting.  Three horses running with the wind - manes flowing and tails like flags in the wind - the mood is Wild and Free! Hot colors for hot-blooded horses, we can almost feel their exuberance! 

"Running Free"  Oil on Canvas  22" X 28"

Another Hot Item - the new "Sunflowers and Chickadees", an Acrylic painting on canvas showing the riotous life in a sunflower plot.
