Dinner Time, great egret in a pond of lilies

"Dinner Time"



About This Painting:
This great white egret kept landing in front of me while I was painting en plein aire (out on location). He was very large, and fat! I think he (or she) wanted to pose for me. I did include him in some of the plein air paintings I did those couple of days. Then I painted a few of him in paintings like this that are done from the photos I took.



Ready to frame.

Cam's Garden, landscape, deer in the woods








Cam's Garden








(Detail)





About This Painting:


Been working on this painting off and on for about two years now. I wanted to use an impressionistic style, yet add quite a bit of detail too. Sometimes it is hard to get the right balance of these two ideas, but I must say it really worked!


Enjoy!

Mountain Music, palette knife, lake landscape


"Mountain Music"


I did a unit on Monet with my kids summer art class. So this demo was originally done in short choppy brush strokes, very similar to Monet's style. I liked the colors and wanted to finish it, but I wanted the mountains bigger and more rugged so I could add snow to them. Used a painting knife and started with the sky, and re-worked the whole thing just for the fun of it. I thought I would make it very abstract, but as I worked it became more and more detailed. A little of my obsessive quality shining through I suppose!


Enjoy!
