"Copper Pitcher", 8"x10", Oil  From far away lands and Turkish hands.   "Copper Pitcher", 8"x10", Oil on canvas, painted from life.    Cheryl Coen came over for a few hours of painting, and we did this little still life.    I debated about painting the background real dark, but decided on this version.    I may try a dark background on the next still life.

" Pioneer Village", Wheatland, MO   I met with friends Cheryl Coen and De Munden a couple days ago and started a painting at Wheatland's Pioneer Village.    It's a cute little park with a group of old log buildings that have been saved and restored.    I never new it was there, just a block off of Hwy 54 here in Missouri.    I arrived late, so didn't get much painting done, but my main goal was to chat with the girls and hear about De's recent trip to Fredericksburg, TX, and the Oil Painters of America show that De was juried into.    Quite an honor to be in a show with so many master painters.    Congrats to De for a job well done.    She even sold her painting.    I'm a little jealous as you can tell.....  Here is a photo of a couple of the log buildings.    I'll upload the sketch I started there, later.
