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.

Cosmos Painting

This is another of the Wetcanvas WDE projects which I have tried and here are the results. It was done in a few hours on 9 x 12 Cold Press Arches Watercolor paper. The reference photo was taken by Bonny Griffeth.

All comments always welcome.

Well after many years of not painting in watercolor I took the plunge. This was a photo taken by Tim Ginnett from Wisconsin. It is called "Dragonfly Pond".

Really enjoyed doing this. Did it in a couple days and very few hours.... VOILA !

It is a 1o x 14 on cold press paper.

All comments always welcome....

Early Morning Fisherman

After retiring for the 2nd time in January on my birthday I have now started to paint again.

Feel like I was in a blank spot for a while. Hence I have taken time to do a pastel painting.

What is better than painting a portrait of my son James fishing on a Summer vacation on the Bonnet Shores of Rhode Island one early morning.

I am quite happy on how this has turned out. It was painted on watercolor paper, smooth side with pastels and pastel pencils.

My latest Painting January 2009

This Magnolia Flower painting was done with Colored Pencils on 8 x 10 Mylar film. A new find for me as I have never done this with colored pencils before. I liked the way the colors blended on the film. Looking forward to more colored pencil work on this film in the future.

Keep watching .......
