In alla prima style---I think it is just what the painter needs!!

As an added bonus I sold ----" Evening Splendor"---- the next day as I was framing it outside the Main Street Inn-----!

Hot Summertime

2010-07-19T16:19:00.000-07:00

Hello all

Steamy Missouri summer is upon us----early morning and late evening painting are the times for plein air ----a bit more studio work for me ----yet when I do get out to paint---the humidity makes beautiful atmosphere----so it's a mixed blessing-----

I had hoped to be painting sunflowers in the Clarksville area this week but the growing of sunflowers is a bit sparse this year---I do plan to try to make the Sunday, July 25th reception from 1 to 3 pm at Clarksville glassworks---hopefully with at least one fresh sunflower painting----I will post more information on whether there are any fields of sunflowers later this week!!

I thoroughly enjoyed painting the ranks of hay as they were raked by our friend Howard Schutt on our 15 acres of meadow----he purposefully slowed down his raking to accommodate me----my brush and brain were moving as quickly as possible to capture the classic image.

Summer Studio Sale & Open House 2010

2010-06-10T07:19:00.000-07:00

Hello

My summer studio sale is approaching ----- and i'll be painting away until it's here----I've just completed a 4 x 6 foot studio work of the beautiful Virginia Bluebells which bloomed profusely over many acres in the Meramec River Bottom at the Shaw Nature Reserve. My painting buddies Jan Takacs and Charissa Coyle shared the wonderful experience with me as we painted plein air among the blooming beauties. I then took my 12 x 16 plein air study and developed it into the finished studio piece!

Change is in the air

2010-05-09T08:32:00.000-07:00

hello all

A big blogging THANKS to those who came out for my Lyon School Plein Air Spring painting workshop and paint out! I foresee that in the future my plein air workshops will become a holistic event of painting, music , food and health ! I was happy that my real food lunch served was as big a hit as my suggested color palette ! My next plein air event is planned for the 3rd weekend of october----I am available for private and group lessons throughout the year---give me a call--573-834-5064

As springtime grows all around us I have been out painting it----I participated in the Augusta Missouri 8th annual plein air event ----over 100 artists painted and sketched the lovely Missouri landscape and quaint town, and we then presented our completed fresh work in a show and sale on the final day.

I have just returned from a plein air workshop in Bennett Springs Missouri, taught by the talented young painter, Joshua Been , from Salida, Colorado. This workshop was hosted by Macreed's Gallery , Lebanon, Mo. I had a wonderful time working hard at gaining new insights into the nuances of impressionistic plein air and studio oils!

I highly recommend Josh as a knowledgable, energetic, and generous teacher.

What a beautiful summer we are having here in Missouri----This last week we've had cool evenings, misty mornings and big blue cloud filled sunny skies----I'm loving it out here in my country home. An evening drive through the Berger Bottoms at sunset sent my heart sailing.

The paintings that were completed during the paint out are showing at Clarksville Glassworks through the end of August.
