Plein Air Late Summer 2015

 At an auto restoration business near Dillsburg.

 Children's Lake - Boiling Springs

 Messiah College - Covered Bridge

 At MaryRose's house

Waiting for the Blue Moon (that we never saw)

Still Life

Here are a few items I've done recently with my still life group. Feeling a little tired of painting flowers, but then I get to class and see the setups and do it once again.

 Jeannie (our Monday group mentor) - This didn't fit with this category, but Jeannie sat for us during a break from painting flowers on Monday and I got this quick sketch of her.

Did this the other day from a friend's photo. I liked the guy's expression. I probably won't finish it, though.

Plein Air - July

Painted this one morning (approx 2 hours) at a house in Camp Hill.

Guardian of the Gallery

This is my biggest painting so far and it was minutes away from being put into the "never show to anyone" file, but after darkening his suit, I liked him better. (He's still probably not finished, but I'm tired of him) This was on a full sheet and it was pretty daunting. BTW, he was a guard at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Unfortunately I didn't get his name.

Nita

My sister in law who was visiting a few weeks ago.

Some Monday class paintings

Sketches

It's been so long since I posted anything, I've lost track of what I have and haven't posted. I thought I'd start with some "sketches".

Here are some very quick sketches of friends (live models).

More quickies done in the Monday Free Spirit Watercolor class.

These were done while I was visiting family in FL this May. Plein air from my parent's town and quick sketch of my niece.
