Jacobs Creek - Oil Painting, Landscape

This small plein air landscape painting was painted on location at Jacobs Creek, near Trego, Montana. It was a delightful place and the day was a bit overcast with the smoke from the summer forrest fires in California and Idaho. The original painting was exhibited at the Anna Bier Gallery in Greenville, Ohio, for the month of November, 2012.  The exhibit was of paintings by the artists at a workshop in Montana.

Mora Stop - Oil, Landscape

This pastel is of the beautiful stream between Mora and Angel Fire. It could be any stream but Sue and Jo made it their stop for painting on a beautiful summer day. It was calm and peaceful, a great place to paint and pass the afternoon. The paintings had to be finished quickly. Then the rain came and they had to high tail it out of there.

Los Ranchos de Taos Church - Landscape, Oil Painting

My friend Sue Modrak was here for a week and we did some plein air and studio painting.  It was a whirlwind or marathon painting time.  Lots of fun.  Sue wanted to try the water mixable oils so we broke them open and this is the result.  I painted this on cradled Gessobord.  The paint is not thick so the canvas look of the boards shows through.  I like that sometimes.  The painting is ready to be hung without framing. 

Shadow Side, Oil on cradled Gessobord, 6 x 6 inches

The edges are painted New Mexican Blue to keep the southwest flavor going.  They are not varnished.  The paintings will hold up better if varnished in a few weeks.  They are $75.00 each or you can buy the pair for $135.00.

Shadow Side - $75.00

The Blues, Oil on Canvas Panel

This small still life is painted of keepsakes from Chile. The ceramic chicken was purchased at Parque O'Higgans as a gift from husband, Gene. He bought one every time he ate at a restaurant there. The park has many shops and eateries.  The blue glass was very popular and I love that, too.  The bottle is about four inches tall.
