Mill Pond Bridge

SOLD

Mill Pond Bridge is kind of on a main road, but when I went to the other side of the pond, it was quiet and peaceful. I found it easy to forget the bustling sounds of people and traffic. That is part of the fun of painting outside... I can escape in plain sight! :) 

Please join me for my last workshop of the year...

Beach Bridge - Georgia Coast

Recently I have been getting the urge to add people into my paintings. I'm not exactly sure why, but with this painting it was overwhelming. When I got it home (finished but with no figures), I decided to go for it. I got my brushes back out and added the suggestion of a few beach lovers into the scene, working from photos I had taken. It changed everything. 

City Silhouettes

City Silhouettes, 8 x 6, SOLD

Last week Plein Air Austin met at Ladybird Lake to paint off the pedestrian bridge. I was too late to catch the sunrise, but the Austin city skyline was still shimmering in silhouette. It's nice to be up early.
