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. [...]

Painted beside Founders Hall on the campus of Ashland University. This was mostly painted on site in the evening. When it got too dark to see I stopped and finished it in the studio. I did this right before graduation a couple weeks ago. I took out a large tree that wasn’t doing anything for [...]

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 started this painting en plein air but ran out of time in the field and decided to finish it in the studio. The sheep were very curious as to what I was up to and stood watching me very attentively. I also made a new friend in some kind of mutt that day. [...]

This is the same barn as I had painted before. It is a very cool barn so I decided to go back and paint it again with the fall color all around. I actually left work early one day last week to go paint this in plein air because it was such a great day. [...]

Last weekend was the OPAS Plein Air Competition. I ended up doing 5 paintings. I had a great time painting but was not real happy with all my work. I wish I would have relaxed a little more and just tried to complete a couple really good paintings instead of the quantity of work that [...]
