Day's End, Ocean Sunset

"Day's End"

This is from a lesson I did with my husband's great niece, Taylor. I painted each step on my board and she followed and painted each step on her board. She is ten and it was her first time . . . To much fun! I really like the way it turned out.

He Loves Me, Palette knife roses

"He Loves Me"

(John 3:16)

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Not Available

This painting started out as a study of complementary colors, mostly shades of red and green. I had more orange and blue in it also. It quickly became something that resembled roses and so I played that idea up with the shadows. I love the lively knife work, you can sense the energy and fast movement I used as I applied the thick layers of paint!

Enjoy

Rising Water, plien air painting

"Rising Water"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on canvas board

(canvas mounted on hardboard)

Ready to frame

This is a painting I did on location last July. I have reworked it a little because it had always bothered me. I have toned it down some and added an egret and an alligator. The alligators are often hard to see, so I hid him at the lower right. (Click on the image for zoom.)

This painting is at Lake Okeechobee. Our lake is up to an average of ten feet now. Still very low. almost two years now it has been so low.

There is a teenage boy that was attacked by an alligator here at Nubbin's Slough last month. Why he was in the water swimming at night in this area is beyond me. You can see large alligators that live here at any given time. They wait by the lock where the water flows into the lake and feed on anything that comes through.

Kid's Art Camp Continued

After creating decorative boxes and wooden signs last week, we did a painting on hardboard. Students primed and sanded their own boards and we worked together to create this lovely landscape. You can see how different they all turned out. I encourage individuality, and show them many options as they paint.

Sweet Summer, Montana Art

"Sweet Summer"
12 x 16 inches
Acrylic on canvas
(painting continues on sides, ready to hang, framing is optional)
$750.00

This is one of those paintings that holds far more than meets the eye. These are the Swede Mountains that I rode horses all over when I was 12 years old. There is a look-out-tower at the top. My friends would lend me a horse for the day and off we went, bare back, to see if we could get there. This mountain range continues off to the left, and stretches out for miles.

This pasture is the one that my brothers and I used to cross to go fishing. Libby creek is just behind the tall stand of trees. When I went back to my grandmother's old house last month I also went to the neighbor's house across the road (Paul and Virginia Miller). They were gracious and took me back behind their property where I saw this view and the floods of summer memories poured out again. I had to hold back the tears as I thanked them for including us in so many camping trips, berry picking adventures, and wonderful hikes up in the Rockies.

Just another painting lesson that I thought turned out nice, so I decided post it. These are fun, taken from how-to-paint books. I use them for a spring board with my students and then the elements are rearranged and the colors are changed.
