Shadows on the Wall

This is another from the Mint Hill Historical Village--a perfect location, close, parking, not isolated,

and a painting everywhere I look.  I'm sure I could paint there for weeks.

I was attracted to the tree shadow on the wall of the building. Of course the red wagon and

bench were also a plus.  I find I am really looking for sites with more bright colors.

Evening Toil

This mulch pile belongs to me and I toil over it almost every evening.  I have a unattractive grey plastic wheelbarrow but with a little oil paint, presto-change-o, it has become an

interesting, older, red vehicle.

Fruits and Veggies

8x8, oil on canvas panel

I spotted this little fruit and vegetable stand while driving home from the historical village I painted yesterday.  Of course, the first thing I did was ask permission and the

owner was so agreeable, even asking if I needed water to drink in the heat.

One reason I am doing all plein air this month is to tackle more complex subjects and work on 

simplifying.  This was definitely complex...for me.

In May I traveled to Apalachicola, Florida for Plein Air South, a most inspiring and motivating time

for me!  In between watching demos and painting, my friends and I wandered around

taking photos of subjects for studio paintings at home.

We found this yard, completely full of stuff, mostly junk and went crazy taking photos.  It's the 

kind of place you prefer not to live next to but love to paint.

Abandoned Building with Vines (sold)

8x10, oil on canvas panel

Show me an abandoned building and I'll paint it. It's hard to beat that patina of age and neglect....much more interesting than the picturesque.
