Painted Meadow Demo
14x11 Oil on wood panel
I created this as a demo for the Lake Granbury Art Association. I used my plein air sketch, a preliminary drawing and photo to create this. I discussed plein air painting and the use of the palette knife. I changed the format from landscape to portrait. It was a fun night with a great group of artist.

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.

Spring Blues 9x12 oil on canvas
This is an older plein air painting that I reworked recently. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out what a painting needs. This is from the High Hope Ranch in Glen Rose. They always have fields and fields of wild flowers.

A Path to the River
11x14 oil on linen canvas
When I prepared for my demo at Pecan Plantation Art Guild I went out to the location and did several small studies. I wanted options on what I painted for the group. This is the first I considered. Here you can see the photo and small study I worked from. I loved that the blue bonnets were blooming and scattered about the landscape. I tried to simplify the design, but decided it was too much for a demo.

From the Garden

Taking the time to plant a garden and reap the benefits are one of my pleasures in life. This is from a photo I took last year when my sunflowers and larkspurs were blooming. I loved the birds eye view of the blue vase against the round stool it was setting on.

Jim

This is a 2 hour painting I did at our drawing group. We meet up at the Shanley House with Lake Granbury Art Association once a week. Models normally sit for 20 minute sessions, 10 minute breaks for 3 hours. This was Jim's first time to model for us. He stated it was very relaxing and a good experience. We are always looking for volunteers!

Terry's Paluxy River

We gathered to paint the river on a gorgeous winter morning.
The Paluxy river runs thru this area and my friend Terry has property with it flowing through. We painted in the morning and toured the property the rest of the afternoon. This is from a newly developed walking path that leads to the family's swimming hole. I know I want to return and paint here soon!
