Lake Meade Plein Air

Yesterday I went to a friend's house in Lake Meade. I had all sorts of water scenes to pick from, but I liked the colors of these boats. (I did try a little bit of water in the background)

Watercolor Pouring experiment

My friend Donna gave me some instruction on how to create a picture by "pouring" watercolor and masking certain areas. I wasn't very adventuresome and didn't leave the paint on very long - so my colors are muted. I went over it later and used some watercolor pencil on it. I may try it again, but it requires a bit too much "thinking" for me!

Gladiolas and Still Life from the Monday Painting Group

The Gladiola's were about a 5 min sketch from a week ago. The still life contained a plant from my deck whose leaves I thought were interesting.

Children's Lake Plein Air

A few weeks ago, I painted at Children's Lake with some friends from church. I wanted the challenge of painting the water.

Espyville Plein Air

A few weeks ago I went to a friends cabin near Lake Pymatuning. I did a quick plein air (because it started raining) and later did a painting of a tree in the yard of her cabin.

Yep, another still life...what can I say. I love that copper kettle.
