Week 26 - A Week in a Day

I took a 24 hour mini vacation this week with one of my painting pals. We were at a lovely cottage/home down on Lake Erie in Ontario.  After a rainy night, we took a morning walk down the road and managed to get a couple of quick sketches done. It is a great spot with the lake on one side and farmers fields on the other.

We went back to the cottage and proceeded to paint for a couple of hours. I got these four pics done during that time. A weeks worth of work done in one day. It was a good thing as I hadn’t even started anything else earlier in the week.

Week 25 - Break is Over

After a couple of spring shows and a mini vacation, it is time to get back in the studio.

I spent a few days visiting friends in Maryland and while there visited Great Falls National Park. With a fantastic boardwalk over part of the Potomac and a look out at the end, I was able to get some great images for these quick paintings. The river drops about 60 feet and there are fantastic rapids that people apparently some can actual navigate in kayaks - no thanks.

Much safer for me to have camera and just observe. I gathered lots of images to work up back in the studio.
