Overlooking Comanche Peak

Overlooking Comanche Peak 8x10 oil on canvas

Our fall weather has been a roller coaster of temperatures. I try to take advantage of the warmer days and get out and paint. My friend Jill and I went to one or our favorite locations and captured the fall colors. Comanche Peak is the highest point around here and provides plenty of painting opportunities.

Fall Light

Fall Light 14x11 oil on canvas

The fall light on this cluster of trees made the colors sing.  The brilliant sun cast a glow on the grasses, sumac and cottonwood trees.   I was excited to capture this scene on canvas.

Autumn on the Ranch

Autumn On the Ranch 7x14 oil on canvas

This was a view of a ranch from the road side where I set up to paint. There are views in all direction and there is a place to pull off the road.  I can find nice views I want to paint, but there is not always a place to park.  This is just one of the challenges of a plein air painter.

Good Morning Fly Over

Good Morning Fly Over 11x14 oil on canvas panel

I recently visited Lake Texoma and took my kayak. I took it out in the early morning to take advantage of mild conditions. The heron birds were nesting all around and would take off as I approached the shore.  Its was a great time to disconnect and enjoy the scenery.

Snow on the Mountain Flowers

Snow on the Mountain Flowers 8x10 oil on canvas

When you see fields and fields of white flowers you pull over to snap a few photos. They bloom in late August and are a sign cooler weather is on the way. It is the same with milkweed and purple thistle flowers. I read this from my former biology teacher's post recently.  I didn't know this and will pay closer attention next year.

This is another plein air painting from my trip to Lake Texoma. Three sisters and a brother in law painted along with me.  They each choose their own subjects and enjoyed the pleasant weather and views. We created a beautiful memory of time spent with family.

Marina with a View

Marina View 9x12 oil on wood panel

It was a perfect morning for painting at Lake Texoma last weekend.  The weather was picture perfect with low winds.  I travelled with my family and there were several of us painting from the point. The others were close by fishing and catching! It was a spectacular morning.

A Day at the Farm

A Day at the Farm

11x 14 oil on wood panel

I painted in Fredericksburg recently and had to stop at the Wild Seed Farm. We bought seeds and wondered around the gardens. We were delighted when we found fields of zinna's, cosmos and sunflowers. The butterflies and humming birds were fluttering everywhere.

Sunflower field at Sunrise

Sunflower Field at Sunrise11x14 oil on canvas

 I returned to the same location and painted another sunrise during the plein air event with The Good Art Company in Fredericksburg. The morning clouds were a nice contract with the happy little sunflowers.  I finished this up in the studio making adjustments and adding the house.

Warm Autumn Light

Warm Autumn Light 11x14 oil on canvas

I created this in the studio yesterday after a painting trip to Fredericksburg. I painted a sunrise during the plein air event with The Good Art Company. The  glow of the morning light on the dried grasses and wild sunflowers was striking on the cool dirt road. I was inspired at every turn.

Barons Creekside

Barons Creekside 11x14 oil on canvas

I created this during the Good Art Company Plein Air event in Fredericksburg this week. We stayed at Barons Creekside. The cabins are each very unique and developed with recycled windows, doors and furnishings.  The creek runs through the middle of the cabins and provided great views. . It was a joy to paint along the sounds of the flowing water and gentle breeze.

Clear Blue

Clear Blue 8x10 oil on canvas


I think I must dream in blues, because I sure to love them. The Texas blue bonnets cover the fields in a blanket of blues. 

I am headed to Fredericksburg in the hill country of Texas.

I'm looking forward to it and can't wait to get out and paint.

Cool morning light is what inspired this painting. Just as the sun peeks over the tree tops the colors and shapes come to life.
