#13 The Greenhouse 8x10

This is an 8x10 of my sister and brother-in-law's greenhouse in Alaska. It's just a great place to hang out in the morning with a cup of coffee. Every year they plant flowers and vegetables in their raised gardens. A very special place! I look forward to getting back there soon! Trying to practice one thing Monet teaches and that CW is teaching me. Monet says when it comes to impressionism, I'm gonna tell something but I ain't gonna tell ya everything! The emphasis here is on the hanging pot of flowers but the greenhouse is ever so present. What is that in the window?

#12 Tall Ship 8x10

It's been a month or more and I haven't really had an opportunity to get out the paints. I made time today and did this little 8x10 of a brigantine that comes by every so often. There are two of them and they provide training adventures to at risk youths. It was a rather quiet, marine layer kinda day..... not alot of wind... just kinda like what you see here....

Painting was completed May 12, 2009.

"Tall Ship," has a new home in Columbus, Indiana.
