"Down Holiday Road" Plein Air painting

Spent a couple hours Plein air painting. Thanks to my dad for leading me to this road. There are a few places I think I will come back to paint near this area. Beautiful day. :). Then was lucky enough to meet my wife and kids at the park afterwards!

Zionesville Plein Air Paintout, "A Day at the Conrad"

Over the weekend I attended the Zionesville Plein Air Paintout (Zionesville, Indiana) and had a great time! I couldn't ask for better weather nor a better spot.  I choose a garden, Tom Conrad's garden...hence "A Day at the Conrad".  The light that played on the grass caught my eye. I was very happy with the finished painting and was lucky enough to get a critique from Jerry Points  (http://www.jerrypointspaintings.com/).

Over the memorial day weekend I set aside a few hours to paint :)

My reference was a photo I had taken in Berne, IN with my wife a few weeks ago.

I spent 1 1/2 hours on this painting...challenging myself to use paint in a limited time with limited details.

My goal is to learn how to "leave it be".  I used a limited palette and only 2 brush sizes. 

I had a blast with it and learned much :)

It has been a while since I last posted new work. So here we are.

This painting was inspired by a tree that a friend and I came across while fishing the creeks last spring. Enormous tree, and very old looking...I loved it :) So I painted it! I did post a couple early progress pictures of this painting a while back.

New paintings! and more to come!

So here are a few paintings I have finished or am finishing. Some of these will be in the IMC gallery coming in October.
