Trees by the river

Here’s today’s trees. This morning I went running along the Boise River greenbelt with some friends and the reflections of the trees in the river caught my attention. This is a first hit, I’ll put some more time into it to see where it goes. I’m way out in new territory with these trees andContinue reading “Trees by the river”

Today’s Tree

This morning I was at the dog park and noticed how beautiful the trees were with the sun shining through from behind. I painted it this evening. I’ll go back when it’s dry and work out the light coming through a little more. See the garbage can? Very important for a dog park. I’m goingContinue reading “Today’s Tree”

Boise Foothills Runners

18X24″ oil on canvas I finished the 2nd runner painting today. You might notice that I took the upper foothills out altogether and put in sky and a new hill back there. I fought with those hills a lot and had them all different colors and shapes and finally scraped it all off. I wantedContinue reading “Boise Foothills Runners”

Runner progress

Here is where I’m at with this runner painting. It’s not done yet, you’ll see that the runners don’t have feet yet and only the gal in pink is mostly done. I worked on the background quite a bit yesterday. My issue with this one is that I’ve painted it before, and so it feelsContinue reading “Runner progress”

Morning Run

22X22″ oil on canvas I finished Morning Run today. All’s right in my world. I was lucky to get this shot last month while I was running with my group. The hills were green, the air was clear, the light was beautiful, the runners and dogs were all in frame. All the dogs but one,Continue reading “Morning Run”

Runners WIP

I painted in the rest of the figures, the dogs, and plugged in the landscape. The dogs are 2 beautiful golden retrievers that are brother and sister, and can you see the little vizsla zipping ahead off trail? That’s Penny, she stayed with us last weekend so we could “try out” a dog and weContinue reading “Runners WIP”

Katie Peak

8X10 oil on canvas I was too busy to paint yesterday, there are days like that. The end of the school year keeps us all hopping. I finished this little foothills painting last month but never posted the finished piece. This one is very similar to my other foothill painting that I donated to the school artContinue reading “Katie Peak”

Boise Foothills and Runners

I started on my Foothills and Runners painting today. This one is already a fun one to paint and I am looking forward to working on it more. The composition is such that I can feel myself in their space, but then again, I was in their space right behind them taking the picture. When IContinue reading “Boise Foothills and Runners”

New Painting

Hi friends! I am so happy to say that I completely finished the Maine beach scene and my client (I don’t like that word, but what else works?) came by my studio and loved it and said that each kid looks like themselves. She is picking it up on Tuesday to take it to theContinue reading “New Painting”
