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 [...]

I still need work on the way I handle trees, that’s for sure. But each time out is another practice session [...]

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.

The dogwood tree these leaves are from is in front of my house in Ashland, Ohio. I don’t know if they turn this quickly every year or not, but for some reason this year I took notice. So, I decided to paint them. I set up in the driveway and focused on this one small [...]
