Grand Vistas before coming home

 

On the Edge with Lines 8x10 oil unframed $75

The final stop along the way home from San Diego was the Grand Canyon National Park.

The painting above was done in my studio upon returning home. Going for a little different look than my usual. Incorporating some drawing and painting. 

I tried plein air painting on site but when I got all set up I found I forgot my canvases. I wasn't going to give up and pack it up so I found my sketchbook paper to paint on. The paper really soaked up the paint and it was very different and somewhat difficult. But at least I got some color notes while enjoying the view and fresh air.

Returning just in time for Spring

 I just returned to my studio after a month of taking in the sights around San Diego, Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon. Lots to be inspired to paint. 

Happy to be home.Can't believe the nice weather already. I guess spring is just around the corner.

I did take my pochade box with and had a chance to paint onsite at a few places.

Here's some of the places I captured in San Diego.

Balboa Park,  a wonderful venue of buildings and gardens.

Spanish Village-Balboa Park 8x10 oil unframed $75

 

Mission Bay, where we stayed at an RV park.

Mission Bay Morning 8x10 oil unframed $75

Riding bicycles to Pacific Beach

So many more places that I just didn't have time to paint. San Diego Safari Zoo, La Jolla Cove, Torrey Pines, Sunset Cliffs just to name a few more.

Lots of paintings coming in the future.

Frozen Bottoms

 

Frozen Bottoms 11x14 oil unframed SOLD

This painting is a result of  a special invite to paint a view of the Black River Bottoms in Trempealeau for a little winter plein air. Thanks again Ellen for having me.

The sun was out but winter still had it's way with the wind whipping across the lowlands. I had just enough time to get my impression of the frozen waters and barren trees. A little time in the studio afterwards and I finished the painting.

This was my third attempt to paint plein air in the winter. Pretty proud of myself to still have all my fingers and toes.

Nice Ice

Ice Formations 8x10 oil unframed  $75

 A winters walk along the black river lead me to paint this scene in my studio. At the edge of the river I found these abstract shapes with my cameras zoom. The ice forms interesting shapes from the melting snow,  reminding me of the ice caves they talk about in the Apostle Islands. Let your imagination take you there.

Enough about winter and ice, I don't know about you but I'm ready for spring.
