While painting this in the studio this week I was reminded of the sunny hot summer when I photographed this beauty in my garden. With two snow storms in North Texas in the last week I looked forward to the new year and warmer weather.
I painted this on Saturday after all the distractions of the holidays were behind me. I enjoyed 
I painted this from a field study and loved the opportunity to revisit the time spent creating en plein air. I did use a lot of paint for this one.
I recreated this from a field study and was reminded of the time spent at this beautiful country home. Anna May had an incredible garden she maintained until her early 90's. Available
I painted this from a set up in my studio with a pallet knife. I loaded it up with paint pushing and pulling color around. I want you to see the paint and stroke of the knife. 
I found this colorful bush on my way to paint to the Marina on Lake Granbury. This was the brightest subject I could find on this gray and overcast morning.

I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the Jackson Hole area painting this summer. The Grand Tetons are majestic. I would love to return and explore the area more.

This was painted at the end of November on an early morning. The sun was out and this golden tree was calling my name. I quickly sketched this out with paint and a pallet knife. I liked the bright colors and big shapes.
I painted this on a rural road I like to return to often. It's a lovely area with ranch homes separated by acres and acres. The hills are rolling and when you get up high you can see for miles. The distance and fall color are what attracted me to this scene.

The best view for this scene was right in the middle of the road. I painted from across the road on the river bank instead. This was at Palo Dura Canyon in the panhandle of Texas.

We traveled to Palo Duro Canyon last weekend and rented a room on the rim. It didn't take me ten minutes after arriving before I had the paint box out and I was painting. The sun was setting quickly and the paint was flying. How exciting!

This was completed at a three day workshop with Qiang Huang. I learned a lot about dramatic lighting and setting up a still life. Look for new work with influences from him. He is part of the Daily painter movement, posting a painting a day. He works a full time job and manages to paint at night. Amazing.

I painted this while participating in Last Friday Gallery Night in Granbury. I was painting at Stringfellow's Restaurant by the window. A storm blue in and the clouds got darker and darker. Between that and the romantic light in the restaurant it was a challenge. To top it off the electricity went out. It was time to go but I still managed to paint a bright happy picture.
