 An Aperol Spritz on a beautiful fall day. A great way to enjoy this beautiful weather.

Box Top Landscape

 

Every time I paint this landscape I learn new things. It's the color temperatures and values that create depth, and I love clouds.

The Future Looks Bright

 I don't usually create paintings that reflect my mood, but I think this painting does it for me. Do you know when life gets complicated, but by the end of the day you've figured things out. This is what this painting reflects, the distant road has opened up and I can see things clearly.

Edgar Payne's Composition of Outdoor Painting

 

Edgar Payne's Composition of Outdoor Painting. This book has been recommended in artists' blogs I've been reading. It comes highly recommended, is beautifully bound and has lots of helpful illustrations. My goal is to read it this winter and feel more comfortable with landscape painting. Below this is my first attempt at a forest scene.
