working on an old image

This is one of the pictures I wanted to re-create from my workshop trip. I finally got around to do it. I like the result. The last one was toooooooo green. I wanted more depth and feeling. I hope that I have achieved it.

pastel plein air

Plein air done of a farm on a road I never went down. I love taking back roads cause you never see the little pieces of beauty that God gives you. Its just a wonder all the beauty of nature. And me a simple human trying to match the creator.

sheep pasture

I have this image from wet canvas that I just love. I did do it in wc but the paper ripped when I took the tape off, so redid in pastel

Pledge of allegiance

I got this in my email this morning. How awesome. May we never forget that we are One Nation under God

still working

I keep on plodding along. Working on oils. The first 2 pictures are watercolors, which I think Im finally getting a handle on it. I joined a new website Paintmap.com. Its pretty cool as you can upload your pictures that you painted and see the location on the globe. People from all over the world are placing pictures. Its a wonderful idea. Ah the world of art, a very solitary experience but then you can see the world of art from other solitary people. When your out plein air painting its just you and God out there. There are occasional passersby but for the most part for me its the spiritual experience of almost meeting God at the moment of creation.
I do wish my camera picked up the true colors. I guess I need a photo course.

let me fall

ok like you Kammy Im in the mode of ok what do I want of my life. As a critical care nurse I have seen alot of people die that are younger then me lately. It does get you to wonder am I making the best of my life. You started me thinking when I read your blog an painting for each song. The mantra for me right now is the song I posted on the page Let me Fall. I have been thinking I needed to put my feelings to that song. This is my result

new plein air painting

My latest plein air painting. I pass these hay bales every day and I just had to do them. I gave this to Paula, because she liked the other one I did.
