Natural Design

12×9 oil on canvas

I met up with friends at Benbrook Lake on Tuesday morning. The forecast called for a sunny day, but when I arrived it was very much gray and cloudy. The gray overcast skies makes the colors sing. Halfway through painting this, the sun broke through the clouds and changed the shadows and color. I was attracted to this natural ditch filled with an array of wildflowers.

We wrapped this up and went to Doug’s house for lunch in the garden. Lunch was followed by a critique session. It is helpful to get feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Nature's Rhythm

11x14 oil on canvas

This was my second painting inspired at the Acton Nature Center in Granbury. It is always a challenge to capture the changing color and texture of the landscape. Painting on location is a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature and friends.

Texas Moon

14x11 oil on canvas

I created this on location in Benbrook . It is always an inspiring place to visit and paint with friends. When I first arrived the sun was slowly rising and the moon was setting. The sky was changing quickly. By the time I set up the moon was gone, but it was an image I wanted to include. I love that plein air painting gets us outside connecting to nature.

Bridal Cottage

9x12 oil on canvas

This small cottage is on the grounds of Chandor Gardens in Weatherford. Filtered light peaking thru the trees highlighted these small cottages. The flower gardens led my eye to the bridal cottage that is tucked away in a quiet spot. I know this must be a beautiful location for a wedding.

Gold Impressions

14x11 oil on linen

This is the 2nd painting I worked on when visiting the Ennis area. We were fortunate find sunflowers, even if they were the smaller ones. I turned my easel around and found a new view. Plein air painting in a field of sunflowers makes my heart sing.

You may wonder how I can do two paintings in one setting. I come prepared with paints premixed and ready to go. I usually tone my canvas with a warm color. I use a palette knife to spread the paint around quickly. The design and paint goes on in a spontaneous approach. I don’t get too fussy with details and I work fast. This is what make plein air painting an exciting process.

Blue Inspired Landscape

I met up with a group of friends to paint the fading fields of blue bonnets. We have a favorite spot on Benbrook Lake that has a lovely field of spring flowers. It’s always a delightful experience to be outside painting with friends.

Light Tones

8x10 oil on linen

I created this at Benbrook Lake on Wednesday. I met up with friends on the coolest morning we’ve had in a while. The promise was 68 degrees, but in reality it was in the low seventies. It was still a splendid time to be outside painting. Some may see this scene as unappealing, but I found the morning light was casting a warm glow on the landscape.

Garden Bunch-Sunflowers

16c20 Acrylic on line panel

Sunflowers are exploding with color in my yard. I took the opportunity to paint in the garden early in the morning before the heat set in.

I will enjoy their time in the garden and try to keep them watered so they can keep producing.

I do love their bright happy colors.

Sunflower Quilt

18x14 oil on canvas

I painted this on location yesterday. Finding fields of sunflowers is an annual quest. The farmers rotate crops so it's always a surprise where we paint. We returned to a favorite spot with a huge tree that provide shade in the morning. The flowers are in full bloom now! So fun!

Painted Meadow

8x10 oil on linen panel

I have plans to do a painting demo at the Lake Granbury Art Association on Monday, May 10th. I will be demonstrating my palette knife process and talking about plein air painting. There is also a workshop coming up on Saturday, May 15th 9-4. Let me know if you would be interested in either and I can provide more info.

The indian paint brush and queen annes lace were a sight I found at Hunter's Park on Lake Granbury. I was so excited to find this combo I returned the next day with paints in hand. This was a quick study and will provide my inspiration for the demo.
