Pinnacles at Sunrise



​Early morning, a favorite time of mine to paint,
 offered this spectacular sight of the Pinnacles in W. Wyoming. 
The sky was a pale yellow, 
with lavender shadows on the pinnacles 
where the morning light had not yet reached.

Pend Oreille Falls


I painted this while on the part of my summer road trip

near the Canadian border.

It is mostly a plein air painting, 

with a few additional touches done in the studio.

Irises with Shell

 
 
I've been busy all through June and haven't had the time
to complete a new painting.
I had intended to paint these Irises in oil
after painting them in watercolors (see below)..
So this is it.
I added extra bright colors as background
for the delicate whites and blues of the irises.

Irises, Shell and Blue Bowl

 
​Painted from a combination of two challenge photos,
one of irises in a garden,
and the other of an assortment of shells with a blue jar. 
Challenge was to place any combination together in a painting.
I chose to make a floral still life,
changing the jar to a bowl, using one shell
and placing the irises behind the bowl.
I also experimented with mixed media of watercolors and acrylics.

Red Climbing Roses

 
 
​When I saw these gorgeous red roses
climbing up this wonderful old crumbling and patched rock wall
- well it was a painting waiting to happen.

Under the Sea

 
 
Painted for daily paint works underwater challenge.
I tried to capture the beauty and wonder of the seascape
beneath the seas surface -
bright coral, intense plant colors and iridescent fish,
all captured in the muted light coming from the seas surface.

Garden Shed

 
 
 
​Painted for DPW's Garden Challenge.
I painted an old garden shed, and composed this painting
from the various flowers that grow on the property:
pink rhodies, a bed of blue irises, yellow azaleas, magenta clematis.
Besides the garden implements,
I added birds
and one little lady bug (can you find her) for interest.

Cattle Drive

 
 
Painted from some photos I took on a road trip
through south eastern Oregon, where there are many ranches.
I had to wait on the road because of the cattle drive
- cows go where they want.
It was interesting to watch these cowboys moving the cattle along.
So I took a few pictures and enjoyed the experience.

Mimi

 
 
​This painting was done from 'Paint and Draw Together' challenge 
using a photo of the blog owner, Lela Stankovic's sister. 
The photo was taken in bright sunlight,
so I toned down the harshness of the shadows
without eliminating them completely,
to soften and better reveal her features.
