Memorial Day Plein Air

I painted this small study about a month ago on Memorial Day. For those who know the Cincinnati area, this was painted over in Ault Park.

Plein air painting in winter

I posted this image on Facebook over a month ago. My intention was to post it to my blog as well, but a few days after this photo was taken of my set-up from a short stint painting out of doors in twenty-six degree weather, my husband went in for emergency double-bypass surgery. So, needless to say, I'm way behind in posting this to my blog! I decided to post it anyway, as a reminder of painting in cold weather and some of the "warm" memories it brings back (ha, ha)! Now that it is March, I'm hoping for some "fair" weather to paint outside again!

Lunken Airfield Study

I am finally getting my blog up and running once again after a long absence! I look forward to posting new work and writing about my process. This small study was a recent plein air painting that I did in October. Although there are no colorful trees in this piece, I did see a lot of fall color in the grass and distant foliage.

Summer Peaches

I'm short on time this summer, as both of my sons are out for the summer and require quite a bit of attention! However, I've managed to squeeze in some small still-lifes. Here is a recent one of some summer peaches.
