Morning Cactus

Morning Cactus - Watercolor, 8" x 8"



When I was in Tucson a couple weeks ago for the 2016 Plein Air Convention, ​I painted this plein air painting as the sun was rising. I had woken up early because I was still on East coast time. The air was cool and the birds were singing to me as I painted. This is not my typical subject for painting, but I was captivated by the glowing halo of light around the cacti. I tried to capture it as best I could.

Still Here

Still Here, Oil on Gessobord, 6" x 6"


SOLD

This was a quick plein air painting that I actually really like. It was a good day for it and I was able to get the values that I wanted. I am having fun with oil painting.  I love old trees, not only do they have interesting shapes, but there is an aura of determination about them.  They seem to say, "Never Give Up"!

Breakfast

Breakfast, Oil on Linen, 10" x 6"

With 12 chickens, I eat a lot of eggs. My favorite breakfast! This was such a fun painting to paint that I am thinking of more "Kitchen Scapes" to paint.
