NC Ocean Isle Beach and some fall colors

We got back from Ocean Isle Beach Yesterday. Here are the paintings I got done while there. It was a great time, and hard to leave. This one is looking at the beach from an upper deck of the house we stayed in.

 This is of the inner coastal water way.

The beach with some people.

 The house we stayed in.

 This one is small at 3x5. It turned out to be one of my favorites.

Today I went out to Saw Hill Ponds looking for colors. Found some!

Ocean Isle Beach

Debbie and I are at Ocean Isle Beach this week with some old friends from Athens. I brought my paints and a sketch pad. It was cloudy this morning when I painted this looking north up the beach.

These next two are from the layover in Atlanta.

Two to Show

This weekend most of my painting has been on my house. I did sneak off this morning to Golden Gate Canyon State Park. It is a beautiful place for aspen viewing. I tried to capture that fleeting moment when the trees in front of me were seeing their first sun for the day. It was kind of fun to try.

Friday was rainy, so I Stayed in and tried to copy one of Robert Liberace's portraits. It is far from done, and never will be. I was trying to copy what he is doing with his color in the skin tones.
