Peach Lake Plein Aire Painting


I finally got to meet up with the LHVPAP, Lower Hudson Valley Plein Air Painters group last week. This paint out was held at Peach Lake, NY. It has been a while since I painted on sight!
This painting was done with Golden's Open Acrylic paints on 12 x 16 cold pressed 300 lbs. white paper. Was a mixed cloudy day and I used the acrylic paints more like watercolors.
Really enjoyed my time and to do more plein aire painting in the future.
Let me know what you think always appreciate all comments!

Pepere Morrissette's Shed

This painting was taken from a photo that I had taken a few years back at the site of my grandfather's old homestead and farm in St Sylvere, PQUE., Canada. This was the only remaining building still standing at the time. It was done on a 15 x 22 Cold Press 300 lb paper



This painting was donated to St Thomas Episcopal Church, Bethel, CT live auction on May 8, 2010.

Oriental Poppies


This painting has always been one of my favorites. I do enjoy playing with watercolors with such a great looking flower.
It is done on Lanaguarelle 140 lb Cold Press Paper.
