Make a Wish, landscape with white horse

"Make a Wish"


This is just one of the wonderful scenes along Arbuckle Creek, near Sebring, Florida. I have painted many pieces from my photos of this area.


I added the white horse as a tribute to my mother, who always told me to "Quick make a wish on that white horse!"


I hid an opsprey flying out of the tree, and an anhinga sits on a limb in the water.

Montana Rockies, mountain landscape with eagles

Just finished the final touch-ups on this palette knife painting. I absolutely love the way the knife creates interesting textures for the illusion of rocks and snow! I painted this from pictures I took during my last visit to Glacier National Park.

White Ibis with Lilies, wildlife art

"White Ibis with Lilies"

Painted this from photos I took at White City Park last year. Quite a challenge to paint the negative spaces and leave the ibis. I get into a slow and methodical state of mind when working with watercolors, totally the opposite of acrylics.

Watercolor

Art Show




Had a rough start, spilled coffee all over my shirt first thing in the morning, before the show began. Can you believe that I didn't even think to bring an extra one? Will have to add that to my list for next year......


Anyway, I went in the bathroom to take off the outer shirt thinking I would leave my white tank shirt on that I had underneath..... But the worst of the coffee was on the undershirt. So I took off both shirts and rinsed as much of the stains out as I could, and wore the cold and wet shirt (on my right side) that you see in the picture above. Then I hung the white tank-top shirt up in my car.


I did have a jacket I wore for a little while. Thank Goodness I wasn't set up out in the cold windy morning!


How embarrassing!


The rest of the day went well, and I even won a ribbon. It is not a first place, or is it? It is called The Parrish award, in honor of Grady Parrish, who selected an artist each year for environmental awareness in their art. It came with a nice cash prize as well, so I was happy!


Back to the studio!

Fall's Splendor, landscape with deer and eagles

"Fall's Splendor"

Acrylic on canvas

12 x 16 inches


Painted this scene from plein air studies (done on location) and pictures I took a few years ago. I added the deer from memory, and the eagles as well. Really enjoyed creating all the warm colors contrasting with the cool gray and blue hues.

Up-coming Lake Placid show

"Firce Beauty"

Best of Show

20 x 20 inches

Gallery Wrap Canvas


I am excited to go back to Sebring, Florida, where the Lake Placid Art League is holding their annual show! (This photo is from last year.) This is one of the shows I love to do, because they have an indoor option if you don't want to set up a tent.


The hardest part is that I am by myself. I have found that setting up a tent, putting my work at risk in the elements, and sitting all day (without being able to even use the bathroom) are all more than enough reasons to limit myself to indoor shows and gallery events!


Come see me on Saturday at the Civic Center on Hwy 27 south of Sebring, Florida. I'll be indoors at booth number 21. Yay!


Click here to read more of my thoughts about the joys and risks.

Hope to see you there!
