Art of the River

Photography on Paseo

The Paseo Arts Association is planning their annual photography show next month and this is one of the two entries that were juried into the show. The curator told me that there were over 260 entries for 60 spaces; a high level of competition this year. I will post another of my entries in a future post. The title of this image is Oklahoma Outpost.

Colorado Kid

Summer, as we know it, is over. The girls are both going back to school next week, one to high school and the other to college. The summer has not been easy and I have not been creating in the studio, but I did do some photography in Colorado when I was there for the Boulder Festival of the Arts. This little kid was on the edge of the Mt. Evans trail.
I decided that the perfect caption for my card with this image was "Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it." (Bill Cosby).
I will hopefully have more time in the studio for the rest of the month and will try to post more.

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.
