Participated in a plein air 2.5 hr “paint off” at the Adkins Arboretum (Maryland). So much fun and while I didn’t win a prize I did sell this painting.

Maintaining my sanity by continuing the exercises in my class. (Al Gury). Oils on canvas using earth palette (yellow ochre, burnt sienna, raw and burnt umber, titanium white and ivory black). Oils on canvas. Apple got a little squat in this one 😆

From photo references to marker sketches to ink. Next is watercolor and maybe pick one to do a larger piece. Narrowed down to these two.

Another early work in progress and back to my comfort zone…landscapes 😊. This is 25”x48” which had a previously started painting. Flipped it upside down and starting again. Oils on canvas.

Here’s my second painting to submit for judging painted on site at Jonas Green Park in Annapolis. I loved the angles that converged in this location as well as the partially hidden sign which ended up reading “O Sing, TY”. Oils on canvas board 8x10
