"Arches"

I recently was looking at images of paintings I had done many years ago.  This scene was at an old fort in Key West.

"The Old Sawmill"

This old sawmill stands alone and abandoned rather deep in our north woods.  I often come across unexpected scenes and stuff while hiking in to some hard-to-get-to trout stream.

"Been There"   Here is yet another night scene that has been kicking around in my winter-time brain.

"Quiet Run"

One of two watercolor paintings from a plein air painting session with Waters Edge Artists here in northeast Wisconsin. From my spot on the edge of the Pike River I painted this facing downstream.  That same day I did a painting from the same spot but facing up stream

I took quite a few liberties with color but the scene itself is accurate.

"Falls 2012"

If I keep painting waterfalls I will eventually improve.  I sort of liked this one.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas.

Happy New Year!

"Water's Edge"

I think I've written previously that I am a member of a group of artists called Water's Edge Artists.  Our plein air painting session this month was at the Wild Life Preserve in Green Bay, WI.  It was cold as one would expect here in December. I knew I wouldn't get very far with the painting in the cold so I kept it simple. I managed to get the sky, distant shore and all the brush plus a couple of trees done on site.  Today, at home, I added the remaining trees.  It truly was water's edge so that became the title.

Thanks for looking!
