This is a view from our backyard looking out at Ashland BalloonFest on Saturday night. I try not to go down where all the action is. I got a fair amount of this sketched in before the balloons began lifting off. This stage is exactly what I was after and I had to paint like [...]

This was painted as a part of Plein Air Ashland. A small group of us have gotten together and done some painting around town. This was supposed to be Ashland University but as I was doing a quick look around for somewhere to paint I spotted the coffee shop across the street with great light [...]

Got out for a little plein air action this morning. Painted this on the campus of Ashland University. This is Miller Hall and it was used back in my days at AC but it is just used for storage these days. I wonder how long it will even be standing.

Yesterday I took a day off work to take my son Sam and a couple of his friends to a LEJGA Golf Tournament at Thunderbird Golf Coarse in Huron, Ohio. I dropped the boys off and then I went and painted while they got started. I went into town and hit one of the marina’s [...]

Painted as a part of the Creative Chateau‘s paint Ashland. I wasn’t able to paint with them because I went to church and went to my son Sam’s choir concert, “May Fiesta.” However, I was able to capture an evening scene looking toward the bridge. There was some great light on the bridge that evening. [...]

Went out a few evenings ago and completed this painting. The trees caught my attention while driving down the road and then the little out building became the focus with its aqua colored roof. I still need work on the way I handle trees, that’s for sure. But each time out is another practice session [...]

I had the opportunity to paint this past Saturday with the Ohio Plein Air Society group in Athens Ohio. I chose a location outside of the left field wall of the Ohio University baseball field looking across the river at the old insane asylum turned museum. It was a great sunny day with a high [...]

The Virtual Paintout for the month is in Stavanger, Norway. Using Google Street view, you find a place to paint and go at it. Great idea and fun especially during winter months. I would much rather be on location but this is still good practice. Available for sale. Contact me if you are interested.

I was supposed to be going to Columbus for a paintout with the Ohio Plein Air Society, the group that I belong to that provides opportunities to paint with others that share my passion. Because of the big snowstorm, i didn’t try to drive down there. Instead, after digging myself out I went downtown Ashland [...]
