NEW PAINTINGS OF POWER

 

Hey My Friend,  Paintings of Power...Power Lines that is.  I think I like to paint the sky and clouds and find most people are not impressed with that simple subject so maybe that is why I add the hooman touch.

 

I do find the patterns produced by all that metal and wire to be interesting and I'm grateful we have this convenience.

 

Of course the vast distances these towers and wire cross are inspiring to me.  I can't help but be inspired, awe struck, when standing on the top of a huge mountain and looking at the beauty, and see all the work that went into bringing us electricity.

I have more on my mind so hopefully you will visit again.

I'm also itching to do some floral work.  Not that the weather here in Virginia is cooperating.

It has been another chilly, drizzly spring.

Much better than wild fires.

MASON'S CREEK ROCKS

Hey My Friend, Here is the little pleine air piece I did last week at Mason's Creek.

Lots of water in the creek right now, we have had so much rain.

It was a joy to be there and I got a funny little photo of my GranSon, if I can email it to myself.

 

I didn't even notice it when I took the photo.  He appears to be sitting on my easel !

Have not added this small painting to Ebay yet.

Hoping to make it to Sheep Mountain soon with friends to paint more .  Never been there but hoping for some Mountain views.

FANTASTIC DAY TO BE OUTSIDE PAINTING

Hey My friend,  Hope your part of the world is as lovely as here in SW Va. in the Blue Ridge Mtns.  This is Mason's Creek, which is pretty close to I81 and at the intersection of Rt.311 and Rt.419.

It is a beautiful creek but too chilly to get in right now.  My GranBabe, Nic waded and threw stones.  He was very patient while I painted.  He is my art critic too.

This is the scene I chose.  Let me express my frustration with moving water.  Don't believe I will ever get it onto a canvas.  I think I'm aware of my limits but I will try again.  Sooner than later.

Didn't have to wear a face mask out here thank Heavens.  A couple of people came by and we chatted and I never even thought once about social distance and masks.  Slow learner, I guess.

Hope all are well and happy.
