Fall Festival of Flowers
7x14 oil on canvas
I painted this on my patio recently. When I started it, the plants were all in the shade. I focused on the shapes and colors. By the time I was an hour into it, the sun popped out and produced strong shadows and light. That is the best part of plein air painting. Things change moment by moment creating spontaneous opportunities.

Bougainvillea
10x8 oil on linen panel
Sold
I created this during the Hidden Garden tour this past weekend. It sold right off the easel. I love it that happens. The house I painted at was absolutely beautiful and highlighted with these huge pots of bougainvillea. They were 40 years old and were glowing in the afternoon sun. The owners move them inside the garage during the winter. That's the only way to survive and get so large.

First Earth Farm Sunflowers

I had the opportunity to join 8 other plein air paintings at First Earth Farm in Bluff Dale yesterday. There were paintings at every turn. I was naturally drawn to this scene filled with color. This is a working farm on the Paluxy river. We painted and then shopped for farm fresh and canned foods. It was a delightful day.

It's in the Shadows
14x11 oil on linen
I spied this house on my morning walk. It was the array of colors in the shadow that attracted me to paint this scene. I've studied this green house for years knowing there was a painting in there somewhere. The soft pink crape myrtles and roses are a nice contract to the soft greens.

I met up with 5 artist friends at the Chandor Gardens in Weatherford. It was a joyful morning painting with friends. I let my blouse inspire the color of the water in my painting. There were reflections of the cloud indicating a soft blue. To keep algae down they paint the base of the pond black and dye the water.
