A Great Day

There is a walking trail near my home and I have been eyeing some paintable views for a while. When this morning dawned sunny and crisp, I couldn’t resist. I was set up at 9:15 and packed up at 10:43. It was high 40s to mid 50s and very little wind. Perfect conditions! Texas January’s are wonderful. I even got in a three-mile walk before lunch.

 

I call this 9x12 Armand View—the name of the street nearest this spot. Armand Bayou is on my left and curves around to the right, just over the rise.

 

A beautiful day. A real blessing. I pray that you too have a blessed day.

This 8x8 was done plein air in San Barnaba, Venice. I later changed the figure in the studio. The linen is glued to archival gatorfoam. It is up for bid for a limited time.

Into the Light

A few years ago, I traveled to Mexico's San Miguel de Allende to paint. I found the people fascinating, especially the women. Many of them were vendors, selling dolls, balloons, flowers, etc. Let's just say they touched my heart. Everyone has a story and, when I travel, I am curious about the people. This flower seller was near Plaza de Allende.
This small, 6"x6", is an auction item on Daily Paintworks and bidding starts at $60. Click here to bid.

Fishing Camp Road

Recently I was invited to paint the Louisiana bayou country with friends. It just doesn't get any better than that. Texas artists LaNell ArndtJudy Crowe, and Bernice Keown were excellent company and the subjects were incredible. Bernice had access to a house with a perfect deck for painting the sunrise. We also painted sunsets, marshes, fishing shacks, and boats. I will post additional images from the trip on  my website later.
I painted Fishing Camp Road one evening right outside the house where we stayed.

My latest Daily Paintworks auction is Scouring Moonstone Beach, 7x5. Starting bid is $50--a real bargain. My first painting trip to California was to the Cambria, area with the fabulous women of Alla Prima International. The beach where we painted almost always had people looking for stones and shells. It's a great place!

Venice Regalia

Just added this piece to the portfolio. While visiting the area around San Palo, this priest took a stroll. The wind did wonderful things with his "regalia". He was well-photographed by the tourists--me included.
