Trout Stream

"Trout Stream" 8" x 8" Pastel on canvas panel

I watched a movie last night after I finished painting and posting my missive for the night.  It had some beautiful scenery in it, so I pointed my camera at the TV screen and captured half a dozen images of things I want to paint. This is one of them. 

I've seen trout streams like this in Colorado, but this one happens to have been in Oregon.  I'd love to go to Oregon some day, even if it's just to drive through and take photos. Anyone want to take me on a subject matter trip?

Snaking Between

"Snaking Between" 5" x 5" Oil on hardboard

The water flowed between the pines back toward the craggy hills, not quite mountains.  I had seen it a few times in passing, but this evening was spectacular. I hope to paint this scene again, possibly with … snow.  Ugh.

Winding

"Winding" 10" x 14" Oil on hardboard

A ribbon of blue wound through the lowlands at the base of the hill where I was standing. It glistened as it rippled and tickled the indigenous flora on its banks. 

Today was a landscape-kind-of-day.

Winding River

"Winding River" 10" x 20" Oil on hardboard

I was looking to paint a winding river.  My own photos were not to my liking, so I found a site with winding rivers. I liked the composition and the subject matter of this scene, but I have no idea where it is,  It was listed as a copyright free, photo, so I cropped the parts I liked and had my way with it.
