Lake Sunset, Plein Air Painting

"Lake Sunset"

6 x 8 inches

Acrylic on canvas panel

(ready to frame)

Stole an hour at sunset tonight. Rarely do I get to paint on location in the evening. In fact this is the first one I have done outside at sunset! The colors were so vibrant, I really didn't do it justice. But it felt good to get out there!

This is at Nubbin's Slough. The water is coming up some, but there is still a lot of land where it used to be all under water. It has been about a year and a half now that Lake Okeechobee has been so low. I added the birds when I got home.

Enjoy!

Mountain Morning, Alla Prima

"Mountain Morning"
8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on card-stock

Not Available

Did this one a while ago, as a painting lesson at the high school. My students were working on using thick paint and letting the brush strokes show while we studied the Impressionism Movement in art history.

I made this painting up off of the top of my head, and did it alla prima (all at once) in one session. To much fun! That is always a satisfying experience, and I loved it instantly! I have used it for several classes and now I thought I would post it.

Thanks for looking and may God grant you a beautiful day.

Rebekah's Beach, mural in progress

Clouds are started, sand is a better color and the volleyball net is placed, but will need more work.

I'll put an angel sitting on a cloud, and one looking from behind one. Flowers and birds will be fun to add as well!



Blocking in large areas of color.








First lay in.

Water Lilies

"Water Lilies"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on canvas

I was very interested in the reflections at first. Then I had to decide what was the focal point? So I played down the reflections and emphasized the lily pads and the flowers. Finally, after the second try, I had a good composition. Now the reflection of the tree sets off the water lilies, instead of distracting from them!

Thanks for looking!

This painting has been reworked. See April 2010 for update.

While I was out painting en Plein air last Thursday, I saw these wood storks glowing in the morning sun. I was taken by the bluish light of their white feathers against the warm soft grass behind them.

Mural, completed

The right side of the mural is finished. Here are some views of it. I blocked off the window and got some better photos this time.

The top photo is the left side. Added some more flowers and brightened up the lighting. Scroll down to see more.

I have run into problems with the priming of the next two murals. The paint is not adhering to the wall. I have to sand and re-prime the walls--very disheartening! I had already started major fill-ins!

Enduring Love

"Enduring Love"

12 x 16 inches

Acrylic on canvas

Prints Available

    I worked on this painting all day. Wanted to make it realistic and yet surreal. Lots of symbolism: 

~ The sunrise symbolizes the new covenant, no longer would animal sacrifice be required for sins and breaking laws. We are forgiven. 

~The dove symbolizes the fulfilled promise of Jesus, to send us a comforter, the Holy Spirit, who gives us understanding and power to live a Christian life. We can't live it and succeed without him living in us and through us! 

~ The crown of thorns is a reminder of the great suffering He endured for us so we can be blameless and find eternal life. 

~ The flowers are called "lily of the valley" which has many different allegories. I was thinking about Christ being "the bright morning star and the lily of the valley." These lilies have healing qualities.

"Whoever is thirsty let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life."  Revelation 22:17

Rebekah's Beach

"Rebekah's Beach"

8x10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

This is a rough draft for a mural I will be doing in Rebekah's room. We will add a volleyball net, and a ball on the beach. We may add more angels than the one in front of the sun, or we may move that one to another location. There will be more and/or larger flowers too. The birds may end up closer, or more of them. Her room is a beautiful aqua color, so this will go very nicely.

This painting is SOLD
