ORIGINAL PAINTING OLD WALNUTS ON GUM SPRINGS

 

Hey Friends,  A horizontal landscape painted a few months ago en plein aire.  I tweaked it last week and finally decided it was finished.  This is the little sprout of water that is basically drainage from all the mountains around us.  It usually dries up in the summer unless it's a very wet season.

Soon it will be time to go there again - YAY!!

ORIGINAL PAINTING OF "MYSTERY TREES"

 

Hey Friends,  Another "start" is finished.  This is the view behind the Home Place Restaurant on Rt.311-headed towards Catawba.  Beautiful piece of land.  These trees really caught my attention.  I did not do them justice.  I was finishing this painting from a photo and I'm sure the colors were incorrect.  I need to go back before they change colors

 

It is supposed to be in the upper 50's tomorrow (Tues) so that sounds like the place to go!

 

I was painting this start on the spot with my friends from Texas and they did not think the trees were Mesquite but were not sure.  So they remain a mystery.

Ending Soon on Ebay

 

Hey Friends,  The images are in weird places, right?  I couldn't get them to cooperate so I left them.  It's different.  Click Here for the Ebay Auction.  This is painted on Masa Rice Paper.  I got so carried away with slathering the paint on, the beauty of this paper is lost. Still like it.

This painting has been on this blog before.
This is a reminder, in case you liked it.

Captured a SunSpot at Garst Mill

 

Hey Friends,  This past summer, just a few months ago, and it does seem like years ago.  While my GranBabes were playing in the water, I managed to paint this streak of sunlight hitting the rocks on the edge.  Great Memories.

LA Series #3 Original Alla Prima Painting

Hey Friends, I just added this to my Etsy Shop. This is the third in the LA series. Soon I'll have to start an NR series!! After the handsome fella in the post below.

This is a close up of the model looking for stones to skip across the brook/creek/stream?

Gum Springs-the Glow of a Million Red Buds

Hey Friends, A couple weeks ago I posted some photos I took on a short walk down our little country road along Gum Springs. I did finally get around to painting from them. At the time I was painting, the Red Bud trees were in full bloom. That's where the title came from. The little buds have fallen now and the little green leaves are emerging. In the photo below it is hard to visulize all the shades of green and the glow from a Bazillion Red Buds when the sun is setting. Just trust me - That's what it looks like

I painted another from the same area that I will post later. I only have 2 shows scheduled for this year, thus far. And it's a darn good thing 'cuz I'm not sure I'll be ready for these. The first is in a couple weeks and the second is the end of May. Boy, I better get with it.

Happy Trails.
