Across the Pond

"Across the Pond" 8" x 10" Oil on canvas panel

This is my second plein air painting from Sunday morning.  It was a larger format and a closer view of the shore across the pond.  

I'm leaving Illinois for a week to paint with more new people.  I'm driving to Iowa to attend the Andrew Orr workshop in South English, Iowa.  I hope to be able to post, but I'm not sure what my capabilities will be.  Left to my own devices, and a rickety old laptop, I may not figure it out. But when I return in July, I'll have lots of things to post and hopefully a new enthusiasm and honed skills for landscapes.

Daniel Wright Revisited

"Daniel Wright Revisited" 6" x 8" Oil on canvas panel

Sunday morning was sunny, warm, clear and the only day in June my friends were free to paint en plein air with me. Ed and I dropped off my dog at the groomer on the way and met Alan in the parking lot of the forest preserve. Met him — for the first time! Just as I had met Ed for the first time last month when we painted together. We three chose subject matter near one another and painted a total of five paintings in about three hours. Storms darkened the afternoon skies, but by then we were each back to the normalcy of our own lives.
