Have been busy doing quick Pleinair sketches in anticipation of the upcoming plein air season and also painting larger paintings in the studio for some upcoming shows and sales. I love spring with all its freshness and hopefulness that it brings.

As an example, the above oil painting was created using a Pleinair sketch in gouache on the lake where we live. I have found that to really capture the true colors, sketching in color helps remind me of the actual colors in the field and are a much better indicator than just photos.

I have also been doing a few commissions which I can’t post yet until they have been given to their recipients.

We have also been working with a stray cat that we rescued and hopefully will become part of our family,as soon as she and our male cat Bootsie, accepts her.  Cats are not as social as dogs so it just takes patience and time.

So , busy season coming up, 

see you out there,
