Purple & Gold Tulips, Ashland University

12' x 9" oil on canvas panel

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 the scene. I had alaso painted in a couple students walking behind the tulips but that got out of hand quickly so I decided to just take them out.

This painting is available. Contact me if you wish.

Insanity

9" x 12" oil on canvas panel

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 around 68. There was a game about to begin on the field and someone hit a home run while taking batting practice. I heard the cheers and looked up in time to see it sailing over the fence and came to a stop about 20 yards away from me. Nobody came after it so I kept it as a souvenir from the day. The painting still has a little glare on it. I’ll take a better one later.

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.
