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.

This is from Weds night.

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.

Finally painting again after the flood!

Sorry for the poor quality of these photos. I was just anxious, I guess, to get out a new post after

forced hiatus from painting due to the flood. First is the Weds night figure.

 This I copied off of the internet. It is from a Robert Liberace. It doesn't look any thing like Robert"s painting. Oh well..

 Today Sharon and I went to a paint out. first in Baily, where I painted this.

 Then to "The Fort", in Morrison. I am so glad to be painting again.

Paint Paint Paint

Weds night we had a model who wore a really colorful dress and ring. It made for some really fun painting.

Here are a couple of details

 Monday, Labor day, Sharon and I went up to Caribou Flats to paint. I love the way the trees get around tree line where the wind hammers them all winter.

Supprisingly the wild flowers were still out at 10,000 ft.

Saturday morning, I decided to paint at home. I have painted this scene several times, but never in the morning.

Then I went down along 93 between boulder and Golden where there is this wonderful hog back.

Me Casa

Friday I had the day off and painted our house from the drive way. I am seeing more and more around the house I want to paint

 

 This one I worked on after work on a couple of rainy after noons. Being it is in natural light, I still consider it to be a plein air painting.
