11X14 oil on canvas The Boise River is so high right now that it has flooded parts of the greenbelt and some areas downriver from where I live. I stood on a bridge to paint this one. I got a bunch of funny comments. Paintings don’t look like much in the beginning stages, at leastContinue reading “Flooded”

Sunset Over Harris Ranch
8×10″ oil on canvas I’m determined to figure out plein air painting. I’ve found a spot not to far away where I can go to paint the sunset, so I’m going to do a series of paintings from this location until I figure out the process better. I painted this one last night. I likedContinue reading “Sunset Over Harris Ranch”
