So, I did not quit, after all.

Finally finished this one, it isn't easy being solely responsible for bringing rain during a drought, but as you can see by the clouds in these last two, as always, I have managed.

I can't help it, I'm in Texas.

Dripping Springs

It's my dad's front yard, here in Drippin' Springs. Nobody ever looks at this blog or ever comments on it and I am gonna quit soon.

Overcast Monday

Studying colors, and their neutrals made this a perfect pleinair day.

Tuesday Night peppers

Here are my peppers, Jayne, are you posting yours? I miss you, and our exchanges. It's time to start up again, k???

Wednesday very quick oil sketches

Jayne this was our first plein air work in class, I wish you could see them all, they are so nice! I can see this will be a fun class for me, and a great learning experience.

Wednesday's homework

Okay Jayne, the assignment was, black and white, then color. I took it one step further and said, some detail, less detail. It was tough to do this with different light each time, I should've sat still! Your turn!

Tuesday Peaches

Jayne, please post your peaches! They were so soft looking and nice.

Willard Point

Okay Jayne, as you know, I started this one last summer, did the underpainting and then quit. It has been in my upstairs bedroom for too long, I finally dusted it off and finished it.

Willard Beach

I promised I'd post this, Jayne, and am still struggling with how to capture afternoon light.

Chadwick Street

Hi Jayne, look--you can see the shadow of my fingers holding this oil sketch! I sat outside while the sun was going down and lost light so fast. Maybe I'll sit out again later today at the same time to fill in some detail, and see what I missed!

cherries

I thought you might stop by after your appointment, and waiting, I ate most of the good lookin' cherries Jayne, here's what was left!

Back on track?

Okay Jayne, we painted glass tonight, and missed you terribly. Let's get back on track!!

Pond Cove

Hi Rache. This is from a photo that Judy took early one morning, at the end of one of our runs this week. There was a light fog hovering over the back of the marsh - it was hard to capture in paint.

Your beach

Hi Rach - recognize this bench? It's the one at your beach, the day we took pictures down there. Hope we're painting tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.

dog days

I am in love with mary.

the Virgin Mary, my pitt

Sweet Mary, the Pitt

As I mentioned, I'm dog sitting.
