Fall Painting

Stayed inside all day during a recent snow storm. Wishing it was fall. Going through my "How's Your Aspen" photos I found this one to paint. It is acrylic and mixed media. The aspen trunk and branches were first made on the canvas with Golden molding paste to give them a rough texture. The painting is 30" wide by 22" on wrapped 1" edge canvas. I'm calling it "Feeling Fallish".

Painting from Park Hill Art Club Class

"For the Grand Child", 8x10, oil on board.

Plein Air Painting Estes Park

I spent Thursday, Aug. 27, painting at Kathy Goodale's home in Estes Park, and Friday, painting in Rocky Mountain Nat. Park. Saturday morning went to the Estes Park Plein Air Quick Draw & Auction and watched as about 50 artists painted a scene in 90 minutes. Attached is a painting I completed in the park Friday on the Storm Pass Trail. The painting is of Hallett Peak.

Another canyon painting

I've completed another canyon painting, mostly made up from places I've seen. Oil on board, 9X12. Went to critique night at Michael Untiedt's and as a result, changed my fence posts in the foreground. Anyway I like the sky and red mesas. Michael's link www.michaelomeuntiedt.com

Plein Air Painting at Red Rocks

This is a painting I did at Red Rocks Park with the Park Hill Art Club Plein Air painters.

Oil on board, 9X12. Afterwards we went to Morrison and enjoyed lunch at the Blue Cow. My cousin Kathryn was here from Michigan and joined us for painting and lunch.

Grand Canyon Paintings

I've returned from my raft trip through the Grand Canyon. These are three my paintings from some of my many photographs. Oil on board, each 5" X 7". The colors in the canyon are beautiful.

Almost Finished Paintings

These are the two paintings finished in the workshop. We went to Cook Park. The paintings are oil on 9" X 12" masonite board. Four colors were used: ultra marine blue and cad yellow to make all the greens, white and burnt sienna.

Plein Air Workshop

These are four quick sketches/paintings (4"x8") of the scenes at Cook Park. The sketches were done to look for shapes and values (lights and darks).

Plein Air Workshop

Heading out for a plein air painting workshop today and tomorrow. Overcast and cloudy, hope it doesn't rain. Will post any completed work.
Instructor: Cathy Goodale.

Portrait Class 1

I'm taking a portrait class with Joel Cook at Park Hill Art Club. This is my first from a model in class (she had dreadlock braids). We are learning to look for the darks and lights. Oil on board with burnt sienna.

Art Exhibit at St. Andrews Village

I will be in an exhibit this Thursday, April 16 at St. Andrews Village, 13801 E. Yale Ave., Aurora, from 2:00 pm. to 4:00 p.m. Most of my small paintings will be for sale, some at a discounted price. Hope to see you there.


Also, I have discontinued my website with Fine Art Studios Online, and am working on a new website. Watch for my posting when it is finished.

New Abstract

I've completed a new abstract painting, but where do I sign it. It can be hung either right side up or upside down. Any comments?
