Giverney Spring

 

 

Another painting of Monet's garden in Giverney, France.

It is said Monet painted 100's of paintings

of his gorgeous gardens, in all seasons.

I particularly like this view, with the Asian foot bridge

canopied with blue Wisteria, over his lily pond.

Wonderful weeping willows, lush plants

and a rainbow of flowers frame it.

Morning Clouds

 

 

​Painted from a photo I took last summer

 in the early dawn, while camping lakeside.

I loved the pastel colors of the morning clouds

against the cerulean blue sky.

The Little Woods

 

​There is a 'little woods' near where I live,

that I like to paint en plein air.

When I drive by I sometimes take a photo

for future painting reference.

This was painted from one of those photos.

I liked the gold of the grases,

against the silver of the rain laden clouds.

Summer House

 

 

​The yellow house finches are beginning to return.

They are inspecting the accommodations available.

I think this couple likes the house

hanging among the bright pink blossoms.

It will be their spring and summer home,

where they will raise a family.

Pure Gold

 

 

​I painted this sunset from a photo I took

at Haystack Reservoir in Central Oregon.

I loved the golden sky, and the golden reflection in the lake.

It looks as if the sun has melted and spread over the landscape

creating a 14 karat image.

Guest House

 



Our fruit trees are beginning to blossom

with their spring color.

Time to clean the birdhouses

we have scattered about the property,

readying them for our feathered guests.

Red Poppies in Vase

 

 

I have been thinking of painting another red poppy painting.

I like them very much and have done a few in the past. 

This one is a bit different, and I am pleased with the way it turned.

(I am not so pleased with my camera's image.

The reds seem a tad more orange than they really are.

maybe it's time to shop for a new camera.)

Canoes and Kayaks at Sunset

 

 

Painted this from a combination of two pictures

I took last summer while camping

at beautiful Waldo Lake in Oregon.

It is gorgeous country

that was experiencing terrible wildfires

in various parts of the state,

but created amazing sunsets.
