Daily Painting Challenge, Painting #13, Path in the Prairie - Oil Painting

"Path in the Prairie"
8"x10"
Oil on Gessoboard
NFS
Today I was finally able to join the COPA (Central Ohio Plein Air) group in one of their Saturday outings to paint on locations around Columbus, OH. Many Saturdays I tried to paint with them, but life has been taking me other places.

My view when I was painting "Path in the Prairie"

The prairie at Brandon Woods Park were gorgeous with yellow goldenrod, and the sun made them truly glow. :)



A few of us decided to paint the same path :)

Japanese Maple Tree Acrylic Painting

Image
Japanese Maple Tree #2 16"20" Acrylic on Canvas, framed The painting in the photo is one of my latest, a second version of my favorite Japanese Maple Tree, from the Portland Garden. The colors are a little off on this picture, I'll try to load a better one later I wish I had taken a photo before varnishing... I really love this Maple Tree, it has become my favorite tree to paint. And every time I paint it I already know I will try a different technique, which makes it even more fun! :) And some rumbling... Oh boy!  I survived this busy period, and now I have a new focus on my mind. After 4 weeks of kids swimming lessons, nine articles written for hubpages.com, 72 hours of power outage, a freezer full of defrosted meat that needed cooking, three trees fallen from our neighbors yard onto ours, two days at my first Art Fair Event at 102 F (39 C) degrees, and probably something else but I can't think about it now... Oh My! as Anastasia Steele would say - (Ye...

Japanese Maple Tree - Acrylic Landscape Painting

Image
Japanese Maple Tree 16"x20" (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm) Acrylic on stretched canvas, framed In front of our first home there was a Japanese Maple Tree. We bought the house in November, and I had no idea that the naked twisty tree in the front yard could get so pretty and colorful (not many Japanese Maples in Italy, where I was coming from). Spring is always a delight for me, and the first spring in the new house, I was so excited to discover what could be sprouting in the flower beds, what beautiful treasures were planted by strangers that lived there before us. There were tulips, daffodils, irises, but what really elated my heart was the little tree with the star shaped red leaves. A true delight. When, more recently, I saw a picture of the Japanese Maple Tree from the Portland's Japanese garden, with those beautifully bent branches and bright leaves, it brought back cheerful memories, and renewed my sense of wonder for this amazing plant. I just had to paint...

Heading South - A Golden Sunset Painting with Striking Clouds

Image
"Heading South" 18"x24" oil on canvas, framed Available at High Road Gallery 12 E Stafford Ave Worthington, OH Several months ago my friend Rene Nitsche posted a beautiful sunset photo on facebook and I was immediately inspired to paint it. It took me a while, but here is the finished piece. I took some artistic liberty and added a flock of birds at the horizon. I think it soves a nice touch, and it also inspired the title. I love the warmth and the sense of serenity that comes out of this scene. : ) Local?
