I painted this a few years ago at the LBJ National Grasslands, near Decatur, Texas. We head over for the trail marathon every year. The race has rolled around again, and perhaps I will be able to sneak in a few studies between checking on my boys today. This is a complimentary color study in violet and yellow, and some neutral grey-violets. I love energy of these colors together.
Diamonds, Sapphires, and Emeralds
This little study sums up the only sparkly things this girl loves.
Angry Waves
This was day one at the beach…30+ mph wind, and COLD. I was freezing in a jacket, and was dry on shore, those are my crazy children playing in the water. I was hoping to plein air paint a bit, perhaps the wind will die down and I will have a chance later in the week.
The children named these waves angry waves.
“Rainy Cloudcroft”
Cloudcroft New Mexico is perhaps my favorite place on the planet. Even this gloomy summer rain was breathtaking.
“Evening Light on Old Barn”
