Peonies

 

The last painting I finished this year before Art Walk.  Some peonies from my garden, painted plein-air.  I was trying out glazing again.  These turned out slightly better than last year's rose!

Acrylic on masonite, about 9x12".  Soon to be available in my Storenvy store!

Whitemud Duck

This was a plein-air painting I started in the fall of 2012.  Finally finished it up.  Although now that I'm looking at it I can see a few more touches I might like to add.

It was a lovely fall day out at the ravine.  I should get out to paint more often.

Nature Sanctuary

The boardwalk trail at the Clifford E. Lee Nature Sanctuary.

I set up at one of the viewing platforms. The view from it wasn't all that good but it WAS shady and since it was a good 30C outside I felt that was for the best.

At one of the other viewing platforms I got a good look at some coots. Very striking birds! If they'd been closer I might have tried sketching them.
