On the easel today




I've not had much time to paint, but did get this one started.  It will need another hour or so.

Triple yea!!!  My camera came back from Intensive Care at the Camera Hospital yesterday.  I have been without it for more than 3 weeks and almost caved and bought a second one.

I am leaving tomorrow for a week visiting family and friends.  My granddaughter and I will be painting together, and I will also paint solo when I get a chance.

The Crooked Fence, Key West

This was one of those photos I took with a near perfect composition!  I hardly changed or moved 
anything.  I would love to go back to Key West and paint some of those charming
houses again.  Currently I'm relying on photos.  I don't think there is anything wrong with using 
photos.  Many artists do, but I always add to my skills when I 
paint plein air.

This is the little pond at Pearson Farm in Union County, NC.  The other pond is referred to as, guess what, the big pond!

For some time now I have wanted a rescue dog, but since I travel so much it doesn't seem fair to a dog.  I suppose painting dogs and puppies helps satisfy that want for now .

This is another painting in my restaurant series.  I was very happy with the painting, but when I put it on line I was disappointed.  It looks washed out and somewhat colorless on my monitor.  I do hope it looks better on yours!
