Bushes and Beaches, Plein air painting, seascape with sand dunes

"Bushes and Beaches"

Got to do a paint-out a couple of weeks ago! Even though it was extremely hot that morning, it was by far the best plein air (on location) painting  I have done in a long time.  Way too much fun with my friends from Pennsylvania!  Thank goodness for the little pavilion we had for shade and a cooler of ice cold water!

Big Lake Sunset, knife landscape painting

"Big Lake Sunset"

This is an older painting. I did it alla prima, or all at once, it is of Lake Okeechobee.  I truly love the texture and color that is unique to knife paintings.  Some of my students are doing palette knife beach scenes right now, so I wanted to post this one in response to what we are doing in class.

Forsaking All Others, pointillism of a red rose

"Forsaking All Others"

18" x 24"

ink, pointillism

This drawing won Best of Show in my second year in college.  I just made it available in print.  It is made up of hundreds of tiny dots.  Shadows are created by placing the dots closer and overlapping them at times.  Highlights are made by scattering the dots farther apart. Very intricate and detailed work.

Heaven's Touch, girl riding a horse at sunset on a beach

"Heaven's Touch"

I did this large painting a few years ago, and now I just made it available in print.  It combines many thoughts and memories from many places.   Poured myself into it for a few months. Created entirely from memory!  Love the way it came together.

Here is what I originally wrote about it:

I have been working on this painting off and on for almost a year now. It is all about contrasts and texture, as far as the technical aspects go.

This painting is far reaching too. Emotionally we all have things that need healing. Sometimes a sunrise or a sunset, a cup of coffee with a friend, or a moment of silence can touch us deeper than anything else at that time. This painting combines some of those ideas: dreams I have had, horses I have ridden, and prayers cried out from the depth of my soul in my most turbulent times. Always God reaches out and heals the hurt a little more.

Butterfly Garden, plein air painting

"Butterfly Garden"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard
Sold

Got to do the last plein air (outdoors on location) paint-out with Lori McNamara until fall.  It was muggy and hot and very hard to get inspired at first. But once I got going I really enjoyed it.  This is at the Oxbow Eco-center in Fort Pierce. Had a little girl watch off and on, and then she got so close I wanted to give her the brush!  She loved it and told me what a good job I was doing.  Too cute!

Added the cardinal (which I saw flying around), and the butterflies (which were not flying around) after I got home. I couldn't paint the butterfly garden and not add butterflies!

Winter Marsh, Lake, egrets

"Winter Marsh"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

$375.00

This painting is simple but effective. I captured the feeling I was after: cooler weather and the fleeting moment of birds rushing off out of sight.  I enjoy working in more of an impressionistic style too.

Prairie Does, wildlife art

"Prairie Does"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic

$850.00

This one is actually titled "Paines Prairie" but I changed the title on the prints, which I thought was funny (instead of prairie dogs).

This painting has a lot more than meets the eye because of the memories that go with it.  

I was at a Plein Air (out doors) workshop in Gainesville, Florida and these deer jumped out at different sides of the field.  They were very fast! I got a few good pictures and add-libbed the rest after I got home to work to my warm studio.  There was ice and frost on the palm trees that morning, and it only warmed up to about 40 degrees through the day! My little windbreaker jacket was not near enough to keep the cold wind out, but I stuck with it.

"Family Reunion"

16 x 20 inches

Acrylic on canvas

SOLD

Pretty much made this painting up.  Started with a cool photo of the tree laying down, which I had painted once before in its original setting.  I changed the sky from gray to sunset, and added the tall pines from other photos of the area. I saw tons of sandhill cranes gathering in a pasture and loved the idea of putting them in this painting, so I added the water and the cranes for more interest.

Winter Warm Up, snow scene, landscape

"Winter Warm Up"

From a painting demo for my adult painting class. Added lots of tiny details later. Really like the hint of warm sunlight contrasting with the cool blues on all that snow!
