A wonderfully wild place. A blue heron, a red tailed hawk, a watersnake....all came by as I painted. I love working out in nature more than words can say. 14x11
The sun was almost directly overhead while I painted this. It visually flattened things out. I had to push the values somewhat and rely more on color to define the subjects. Every painting day outside is a learning experience. 8x10
I love this view, the first version was done two summers ago. Today the light was rather dull, but I felt it was interesting enough to give it a go. I'm sure I'll revisit the site again sometime. 10x8
