Today when I was out painting it was cloudy and grey. My painting reflects it. This is the river in downtown Boise. I left out the building behind the trees. I was right across from the Morrison Center which is on campus at Boise State University.

Nov 10th Trees
The fall colors in Boise are still hanging on so I went down and sat on the rocks and wet leaves by the river and painted. I like this one. And I like my tree a day challenge because I can already see evolution in my work. One idea always rolls into the next. ThereContinue reading “Nov 10th Trees”
Nov 8th trees
I am happy with today’s trees. I went and sat by the river and painted Plein air. I love all the color I can see when I am outside and working from life. There are a few little things to touch up but is mostly there.
Boise Foothills
Today I did sort of a Plein Air painting belly flop. I went out into the foothills and set up shop. You don’t win them all on the first go. This is a small part of the painting I did. I’m going to spend some more time on the whole composition and see where IContinue reading “Boise Foothills”

It’s almost done, but you will see I have 5 more cars to paint in and the road. I’ve foundContinue reading “Bridge, Maine, Musicians, Sisters”

Watercolor Cuties & Oil Cuties & another marathon
Whenever I just want to paint something, I grab a bunch of little cuties. You know, the little mandarin oranges. Are they called Cuties around the world? I think I like my oil painting better…but this is watercolor #1. Or really #2 if you count the little Self Portrait I did in 2003. I see one littleContinue reading “Watercolor Cuties & Oil Cuties & another marathon”
