11X14 oil on panel Today my daughter went to school all day so I was able to go out and paint in the morning (we homeschool half time). I went out to the farmland that is at the base of the foothills on the other side of Boise from where I live. I sat inContinue reading “Dry Creek Road”

Harris Ranch Big Tree
5X7″ oil on panel I painted this plein air today. I feel like I’m starting to get a feel for plein air painting. I’m happy with how this little painting turned out. I keep painting Harris Ranch because it’s just about the only flat open space near my house. There are a few cows leftContinue reading “Harris Ranch Big Tree”

5X7″ oil on panel The color looks so different outside! And yes, I love my little Gorilla Painting Box. Although I used a bigger palette, who could possible use such a tiny palette? But I had a limited selection of colors because not many tubes fit😀. It might be to my benefit!
Tablerock from Crestline Sunrise

I likedContinue reading “Sunset Over Harris Ranch”

It looked like it would just be a little cloudy which would have been great, but then the fog rolled in. There are actuallyContinue reading “Plein Air Box”

Skyscape
You can expect so see a bunch of skyscapes in the near future. I’m in love with all the shapes and colors created in the clouds and sky. Yesterday as I sat in the parking lot waiting during my daughters dance rehearsal I decided to pull out my paints and paint the cloudy Boise sky.Continue reading “Skyscape”
