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.

This is the painting I did last Sunday morning (8-2-09) while my family and I where having a long weekend away. We were staying in a house on Catawba Island. It was quite nice and relaxing. Especially the time I was able to paint. The day started with a light rain that cleared out by [...]

Last week, Our new lead pastor at Park Street Brethren Church gave us a short devotional. It was based on 1 Samuel 7:12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far has the LORD helped us.” He was encouraging us to identify our own [...]

This was a plein air study painted last Saturday. It was a beautiful Saturday morning but a little chilly and the wind was blowing pretty steadily. I don’t have an umbrella to use yet so I didn’t have to worry about that blowing away, but i did wind up with full sun on my canvas [...]
