Rock Formation Limestone Quarry Landscape Oil Painting


Rock Formation 
oil on panel 
6x6"

This landscape reminds me of our family trip out West a few years ago.  The cool thing is this unique formation is much closer to home.  A silhouette of  limestone quarry against the setting sun.  Being an active quarry the landscape is still changing every day.

The Reservoir Summer Beach Original Daily Oil Painting


The Reservoir 
oil on panel 
6x6"

One of our favorite spots in summer, a nearby reservoir.  Good for camping, hiking, biking, boating, swimming or just relaxing on the beach.

I have painted this beach full of people but I got up early and captured a quiet groomed beach ready for visitors.

I had a pretty productive Monday in the studio, especially considering I started my day folding a basket of clothes before I realized they were still dirty.

Festival Summer Street Fair Original Daily Oil Painting


"Summer Festivals"

6x6"

Summertime means festivals and fairs.  The smaller the town the more charming the fair.  Here, night was falling and all the lights of the street fair glowing.  This is small town Americana.

Kiddie Pool Summer Days Plein Air Painting



"Kiddie Pool"
oil on panel 
6x6 "

Best. Dad. Ever.  We live in the woods on a glacial ridge.  Not the most conducive for a pool.  My dear husband scouted out the best possible spot in the yard.  He came home from Rural King with a big box of the best joy and 8 year boy could dream of for summer vacation.   Did I mention he did this on Father's  Day weekend?  

We had a storm roll through last night that knocked out the power all day.  No better place to spend a hot, soupy day.

Thanks hon.

A Quiet Summer Morning Hostas in Bloom Garden Art

"A Quiet Summer Moment"
oil on panel
6x6"

I was out watering my garden in the peace of early morning.  Bees were buzzing in the hostas that are in full bloom by my he garden shed.  I am so glad I had my cell phone.  I snapped a ton of pics in hope to get at least on clear one of the bees in flight.  I was so excited for my inspiration for the studio later in the day.  I would like to colored this subject further.
