Day 264 Thunderheads over Wyoming

Thunderheads over Wyoming

Oil on Canvas Board

4 x 4

 

Here is another Wyoming mini painting. In the wide open

spaces of Wyoming, clouds become the star of the show, especially

thunderheads. We had a terrific thunderstorm here yesterday, not

nearly as common an occurrence as it is in Wyoming which, when

we were there, seemed to be a daily happening.

Another image from the spring plein air trip. These were

growing in front of an old abandoned house. The house was

in sad shape but the lilac bush was gorgeous.

Day 261 Florida Wetlands at Sunset

Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

 

 

The photo source for this painting goes back a few years. We were in

Florida to see one of the last shuttle launches. What a powerful experience

that was in more ways than one, the sight of the shuttle lifting off, the roar

of the engines, and the sound waves vibrating through one's body. Amazing!

Day 260 Mt. Hood - What a beauty!

This was painted from a photo I took last spring on a plein air

painting trip to the Columbia River Gorge. This was the view

from the street outside of our hotel. Amazing, right?

My little photo safari to the Anitque Rose Farm in Snohomish last fall

was very productive. Here is yet another painting based on one of those photos.

I plan to return to the farm tomorrow and replenish my photo stock as well as

hopefully paint plein air.

Day 258 The English Red Gate

The English Red Gate

Last year I was fortunate enough to see my sister get married in England. One day, as we were walking around her neighborhood, I spotted this great red gate. I tried to sneak a photo but was caught red handed by the owner. My sister had to hastily explain I was just visiting and was charmed by his gate. Phew!

I attended the annual dahlia show in Everett a couple of weeks ago hoping to see some spectacular flowers. I wasn't disappointed. This particular one has to be my favorite.
