"Misty Morning"

9x12" Acrylic on canvas panel

(sold)

If you visit Beason Park (Columbus, TX) early in the morning, you might get lucky and see the Colorado River with a thick fog. It was so thick when I painted it, the acrylics that normally dry within a minute after brushing it on had problems with being too wet and dripping!  That was a challenge.  I think this really caught the misty feel with the barely noticeable house in the distance across the river.  This placed third in the plein air competition at the Columbus Folk Fest 2012. 

"Seaside Park" (Marblehead, MA)

9x12" Acrylic on canvas panel 

(Bid at DPW)

This is a painting I started at on location at Seaside Park in Marblehead.  It’s one of the few places you can briefly get away from civilization with dense woods.  After a 1/4 mile, you step out of the woods into a magnificent view of the harbor with the lighthouse in the distance.

"Galveston Getaway"

9x12" Acrylic on canvas panel

(Sold)

I revisited a plein air painting from the this summer now that I'm learning figures.  Adding people, seagulls, towels and the umbrella set-up really gave this painting the feel of a weekend at Galveston.
