Basking in the Sun - Daily Painting, Elk River, Tennessee, river rocks
The heat index was well over 100. I chose to paint the river rocks in the sun but I stayed in the shade where the temperature was a cool 96!

Lilo and Stitch - background painting
I have been very busy lately, and wanted to post something. Awhile ago I came across a blog devoted to Animation Backgrounds and found one of my Lilo bg's. This was one of the most fun movies I worked on. For this movie we worked in water color.
I will try to get out and paint some new stuff soon.

The Keep Out Wall - Daily Suburban Painting, houses,backyards,wall
One of my favorite thoughts about walls is by Randy Pausch. It goes something like this "the wall isn't there to keep you out...it's there to keep out those that don't want in as much as you".
I didn't go into this backyard, I just peeked in, and painted.

Linger and Loiter - Daily Landscape Painting, river, Athens, Alabama, rocks, branch
The river "Lingers", and then moves on, the rocks just "Loiter". I debated putting in the branch but when the sunlight shone through a couple of leaves the debate was over.

Red Hat, Purple Flowers and... SOLDDaily Painting, Still Life, Floral, Red Hat, Spring Flowers, Robin's Egg
...a Robin's egg. A co-worker found this egg on the lawn at our office and I talked him into loaning it to me for a painting. I don't think any other color says spring quite like Robin's egg blue. This set up has the same flowers as yesterday but, under a bright incandescent bulb. The set up yesterday was under a fluorescent bulb with a warm bulb in a clip on light from below.

A Brook - Daily Landscape Painting,The Brook,Tennyson,Tennessee Valley,
Whenever I come upon a stream or brook, I am reminded of the Alfred Lord Tennyson poem. This seemed a connection to good to pass... a brook in Tennessee and Tennyson's "The Brook".

Ridge Road - Daily painting, Pisgah Ridge, Franklin Hayes Rd.,Tennessee
The third of my sketches on Pisgah Ridge. I will be returning soon...I left my dogs leash tied to a tree there. I usually let Annie (my dog) roam and explore but, I set up too close to the road and she kept wandering down to it.
There were cows in the field across the road when I started but...they refused to pose when I got to that part of the painting.

Barn on the Ridge - Daily Landscape Oil Painting, Barn, Pisgah Ridge, Tennessee
I found this beautiful property on Pisgah Ridge in Tennessee. I started with the barn, then the house and then a view down the road.
I really like this painting but unfortunately the photo of it is terrible. I always seem to have problems when photographing paintings that are predominately green, dark paintings give me trouble too. I will have to figure this out soon...it's spring and green is everywhere.

Late Afternoon in Paint Rock - Daily Landscape Oil Painting, Paint Rock Preserve, Barn, Tree, Alabama
This is the sketch I painted without the benefit of a tripod to mount my paintbox on. I held the box with one hand and painted with the other...very awkward.
