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 

which took me through beautiful NE Washington state

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.
