Sheep Sunset Painting Autumn Impressionism Alla Prima Daily Art

sold

Somedays painting can become too methodic. I started thinking how easy it is to forget what inspired me to paint something in the first place. Having very little time before the baby awoke from his nap, I picked up the brush and started painting from the "leftovers" on my palette. Pushing paint with only color and value in mind, I ended up with one of my favorite paintings. It was fresh and full of unmixed color. It is important to let our inspiration "drive" with our skills riding "shotgun". Painting everyday allows this experience to blossom.

Schoolhouse One Room Oil Painting Comtemporary

"School's In"

I am so grateful that this old schoolhouse was spared from destruction. It sits adjacent to a new modern school. Built in 1886 it sits in excellent condition. When I walk by it I imagine all the school children running around in the schoolyard, while the teacher rings the school bell, so many years ago.

 This house caught my eye across the field in rural Indiana. It looked like a country villa in Europe. This young home is probably only about a century old though. Just a youngin' although it has been through a couple of generations of farmers.

"Fall Fields"

We took the kids out for a drive in our old convertable last Sunday. The air was getting chilly. I snapped picture after picture of the fields changing colors, it was like a patchwork quilt.
