Thistle Way

20x16 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

This was created in the studio from a couple of painting sessions on the river. The walk back to the car provided little pops of color with the wild thistles gracing the landscape. I completely changed up the color scheme by premixing colors of my choice.  I sketch out big shapes and applied the paint using a palette knife.  I left some of the warm underpainting showing.

Waterfall Garden

14x11 oil on canvas

I painted this at Chandor Gardens in Weatherford, Texas. This is a beautiful garden area now owned by the city. The original owner, Douglas Chandor created the gardens over 70 years ago. He was a renowned portrait artist, but his true love was the garden. The city is doing a beautiful job of maintaining and preserving this little bit of heaven. 

.  It was a calming spot in the garden with the sound of the falls splashing.

Garden Sanctuary

8x10 oil on canvas

I painted this at Chandor Gardens in Weatherford, Texas. I met up with a group of die hard plein air painters.  The Texas heat can be oppressive, but it wasn't in the gardens.  I painted in the shade and there was a nice breeze to keep us cool.  I am so grateful to have so many beautiful places to escape to. This is filled with texture and color.

Sky Reflections

I am drawn to river views and love exploring the possibilities in paint.  We painted on an old bridge overlooking the river this week.  The water was low exposing little islands along the way.  The sky was filled with clouds that reflected on the water making a beautiful spot to paint.

Facing the Sun 16x20 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

I was fortunate to paint at a field of giant sunflowers recently. I have been painting them in my dreams every since. I was looking for patterns, shapes and movement in this landscape. Using a palette to introduce texture and color in the sky is what I imagined.

Smile for Miles 11x14

Seeing fields of these happy sunflowers brings a smile to my face. A small group of artist joined me to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. The winds were strong with clouds moving quickly. The dust storm brought in a interesting light.  The sunflowers were still glowing for miles.
