July's Buck Moon

Another month has passed and the search in the sky to capture July's full moon continues. The smoke in the air not only affects the sunset. The moon appeared as an orange globe rising over the manicured lawn at Cedar Creek Golf course in Onalaska. After traipsing around County Rd D in Holmen, I found my subject matter down Sand Lake Rd. closer to home.

 In addition I was captivated by the photo family in Tuscon sent that revealed the prominent rings of color around the full moon. I'm taking a nocturne workshop in September and hope to fully understand how to capture the illuminations of heavenly bodies.

Cooling Down at Como Falls Park

Mondays plan was to gather with other artists early to a little hidden gem in Hokah, Minnesota. It was going to be a hot day and getting out early to plein air paint along Thompson Creek seemed like the best plan. We were met with a swarm of mosquitos and after a dousing of spray four of us set up in the cooling mist of the falls. It's not as grand as those waterfalls up north but we still relished in the sounds of cascading water.

I painted on site for a couple of hours and then the sun started to turn the mist into steam.  I headed back to my studio to finish the mornings inspiration.
