Carpenter Inn Pond

This was my second painting done after I finished the former pond picture. I ran out of time and don't know if I may leave it as is. It has a loose quality to it.

Weather for Ducks

This was my first painting after getting my boards stamped in Athens for the OPAS competition. It was cloudy and it did rain halfway through the painting but I had put a 5 can soup recipe in my crockpot and it was perfect coming in from the rain, and it poured while I had lunch and then the sun came out and I finished up the painting.

Summer painting

This painting was done at the Lowe-Volk Nature Center in Galion, Ohio. Purchased by Jim the manager of the Center.I will continue to post the paintings of the summer. It has been difficult to upload as I spend 2-3 days painting and have had a number go to shows and hanging various places.

Gorman Lily pads

 
This was done last week at Gorman Nature Center..rather different for me. I couldn't stand all the green so added my favorite color..Purple!!

water lillies in progress

I am getting excited about this one...I worked from my photo , put the lily pads in in pencil and then just went with my imagination. I didn't like the top half of the photo so I will need to improvise the back of the pond. Tomorrow I help hang the Beauty and the Beef show and that will take half a day...I may be too tired to lift a brush.
