Sunrise on the River

I went to the river this morning and was there to see the sun rise. I do love that time of day, even if I am not really a morning person. The rowers have a beautiful setting; so peaceful despite the noise from I-40 and I-35.

Wichita Plein Air

This is the first plein air painting I have done. It is daunting, facing the great outdoors and forcing yourself to paint only a small block of that space. It is hard to decide what to leave out!
The wildlife refuge was beautiful this weekend, although it warmed up quickly.

Strut


This is one of my most popular paintings. I sold the original almost immediately, but I continue to sell prints, both on paper and giclee on canvas. It frequently catches the eye of browsers to my booth. This time I added tiles, which I made with Lazertran. I am going to be using a lot of Lazertran in the future! With it I should be able to combine painting and photography.

Curious

The "Curious Scissortail" generated a lot of comments this weekend, including one man who said that he had lived in Oklahoma for 10 years and had only recently seen his first scissortail. When I leave my house in the morning, I usually see a scissortail within 10 minutes. Very curious!

Paseo Arts Festival

I had a great time at the Paseo Festival and met lots of wonderful people. I had a good show and was able to make and sell my own prints in a variety of forms as well as originals. I can't wait to get back to the studio, being around all the great art (and artists!) has really inspired me. Thanks everyone!
