#50 Bill's Canoe" 5x7 oil


For #50, I did my first real, "plein aire" painting. Came down to mom's cottage on Sweetwater Lake, and set up my easel on the dock. It was a perfect day! Nobody on the lake as it was the middle of the week. The weather was perfect. The tricky part was the ever changing colors and values on the lake as the breeze would come and go. Intend to do more of this when I get back to Palos Verdes. Just had to get my "feet wet" so to speak.

#49 "Jeff's Dog" 11x14 oil

My first dog portrait. This is Jeff's dog. Fun painting to do. Did this painting down at mom's cottage, the Aw Kum On Inn on Sweetwater Lake in southern Indiana.
