Running Free

24x18 oil on linen canvas

I was inspired to paint this after visiting the Acton Nature Trail with my sisters, and great nieces. Sara and Sadie are both 7 and felt free to run ahead of us. It was on a beautiful winter morning and they were happy to be outside and running free.
I use a limited palette of three colors and white.
Thalo Red Rose, Cadmium Yellow Light and Phthalo Blue.
I really enjoyed find grays in this vibrant mix of strong pigments.

Chasing Sunflowers

11x14 oil on wood panel

Chasing Sunflowers was a plein air piece I started in a beautiful field of sunflowers.

We set up quickly and got to work. As soon as we started the owner showed up and asked us to leave.  He did say we could finish, so we worked quickly.  When I got home it looked like a hot mess. So I scraped the painting and started over! The landscape around this field was so beautiful. I was determined to make this one work.

First Light's Glow

12x12 oil on canvas

I painted this using a new color palette, introducing a viridian.  It is on the cool side of green. It leans toward the blue so it was useful for mixing greens on the cooler side. I love the effect it gave with this morning sunrise. This is a local landscape with Comanche Peak in the background.

Morning Melody

Getting up early to witness a beautiful sunrise was a way to reward myself for going to work.  Now that I am retired I can paint those sunrises from photos I took every day, 5 days a week.  One of life's sweet rewards.

High Flow

11x14 oil on linen

There is meaning behind the color of a fire hydrant. 

Did you know the different colored fire hydrants indicate water-flow capacity? The blue indicate high flow. The pops of color against the blue fire hydrant were eye catching.  I spotted this yard near the town square in Granbury. The whole yard was filled with the bright colors of Spring. I knew I had to paint this colorful still life.
