Still Life With Blackbirds

Picked a few things we had sitting around, arranged them together and decided this was paintable. I worked on it two nights.

The Musicians

One day I tied to capture Michelle and Becky playing folk music together. It is hanging in a show at this time in a town on the west side of Ohio, near Wapakoneta. They were fairly good models, being painters themselves.

Still Life with Chinese Vase

Orchids have bloomed nicely for us this winter. Our neighbor gifted us with this one. So it had to go in a few paintings!

One day in January it was warm enough to paint plein air. This is our backyard wooded area. When we were young it was a pasture for our cow and a sled riding hill. Some of the trees are dying off and need to be felled. But it is a restful place in every season.

Beach Still Life

Shari invited us to paint in her studio area. I grabbed a shell as I left home, thinking it might be added. It was exactly the thing. We hadn't even talked about it, but she had other shells and driftwood set up for us to paint. Artists have a lot in common!

Last month the East Ohio Plein Air group met at the artist Charles Burchfield's Homestead in Salem. We painted looking out the windows as he did when living there.
