Lakeside Garden

Finally--painting weather! Beautiful actually-couldn't have picked a more beautiful day to sit out on the dock and paint this. Someone's yard with lakeside azaleas and rhododendrons blooming--couldn't resist the flowers, even when I'm by the water:-)

Another beautiful day out in my garden. Since I've painted this particular phlox garden several times, I thought I'd change it a bit by putting a little garden bunny statue that I had in another garden in it. Cute touch!

First "Plein Air" of the Spring

Plein Air Study 4/22/13

Oil on Panel


I haven't had it in me, up to this point, to get out there and paint in the open. Even today was a bit chilly, but I couldn't resist any longer. So I set up my easel right outside from my studio, and this is what I captured. I am looking forward to a productive plein air season, seeing and painting some new places, and growing with my painting skills.
