Oil Still life


It was great to have a couple art friends, De Munden, and Cheryl Coen, at my Studio this week. We decided to do a still life for a change of pace. We had done quite a few plein air paintings all summer, and because of the weather it's time to move inside. It's fun to see the same subject through other artist's eyes. Here is my version. Now that my studio is a little more organized, I'll have to do more still lifes. I have many keepsakes, just crying out to be preserved in a painting. I'm looking forward to painting at De's studio next month. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

Feb. 21, 2009 "Fall At It's Best" It's cold outside, so decided to get some painting done. This is another painting started last October. It's a view above the small dam, at the trout hatchery. I couldn't resist painting this fisherman. Although one fisherman left and another stood in his place, so I had to revise it a little. There were many fishermen and women coming and going, but that's what you have when you paint plein air. I just get in a "zone"....and look past them, and then hardly notice they are there. Those seriously fishing, hardly notice me too. "Touche" .

This new blog title seems to fit me better.   Going many directions, hits it right on the head.....ha.    Life is a little crazy for us right now.    Some good days, some not so great.    We're just taking each day as they come, and making the most of time with family and friends.    I don't think anything can turn your life upside down anymore than "Cancer".    Life as you know it flashes before your eyes......and then is gone.    Bob is being brave and courageous with his fight against lung cancer.    We never expected his Vietnam stint to come back and bite him in the butt, but that's just what happened, and is happening to many other veterans of our generation.    Here's a photo from those army days, and love to all our family and friends for the thoughts and prayers.

I just returned home from a great three day Plein Air Paint Out at Big Cedar Lodge, just South of Branson. The weather was wonderful and the fall colors were beautiful. I was tickled to meet some great artists, and enjoyed a demo by the Judge of the competition, and instructor of the 3 day workshop, Guido Frick. Jeanie Morris and her staff did a terrific job organizing the Paint Out, Show and Sale. It was fun visiting with all the guests as I painted on site. Everyone seemed to enjoy watching as we worked. It was even better when I was able to sell two of my pieces. I hope they are enjoyed for many years. I'll upload one of the sites I painted and sold. There were so many pretty sites, it was hard to decide on which to paint.
