New Work for the Lynchburg Art Fest at EC Glass Sept.17

Hey Friends,  I've been experimenting and playing with a new direction in my work.    Look at the land in this piece.  I wish I had thought to take process photos.  

I guess I'll have to put a barricade on my studio door that won't let me in until I promise to take process shots.

Whatever works right?

See you there.....

MOTHER NATURE GAVE US ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR PLEIN AIR

Hey Friends,  We had a good time this morning at Garst Mill Park just off Brambleton Ave.  The little creek that runs through this park is melodious (HaHa-look at me trying to use big words).

I made a little short video and hope you can hear the water babbling.

I like this new method I've been using for plein air painting.  The top photo shows my 9x12 canvas with an acrylic sketch on it of the pictured creek.  This dries really fast and you don't have to worry about getting it home, like you do with oil.

So now I just paint over the acrylic with oils at home.  Maybe I won't do this forever, maybe I'll learn to focus better and I won't flit off chasing squirrels and butterflies.

After all I'm out here to have fun, not to be winning awards!

Please tell me what you think of the short video.

You can even say "Don't EVER do that again"

Happy Trails

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND

Hello Friends,  Just a quick note to say 

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

Last weeks plain air painting done with the DLP buddies on Mexico Way off  Rt. 460.

The scene was beautiful even with the fog and heavy clouds.  The sun peeked thru occasionally.

The birds sang for us the whole time, one of the bonus' of plein air.

Available at my new website  HERE.

Enjoy your long weekend
