Mary Good's Garden

Mary Good has many artistic talents. One of which is the gardens she nurtures around her home. The Clematis was in full bloom on the day we painted in her yard. The rain threatened, distant thunder rolled as we worked. I would have liked to play in the paint on location longer, but sometimes the weather determines how long we work. I held out until my pochade box filled with water and I was rather damp. Then I folded up shop.

Barn With A View

Today I had to paint. I put my Siberian, Lupine, in the car. Gathered up water for him & a long wire cord. He played in the harvested field behind me very contentedly (except for one deep hole he crafted). The view is looking toward Leetonia, I think. I see a few things I want to touch up, & maybe try another photo, not sure if the colors exactly true, but not bad.

Rupert Farm

This afternoon I took our Siberian Husky to my paint-out. I parked along the roadside at highway 7. I prepared the pallet (all but the mixing) before leaving the studio. The scene caught my eye a few days ago, but then there were cows in the shade of the trees. The dog entertained himself by digging holes.

Coming Storm

Last evening, while driving to town, I passed this sunlit field of round bales. I thought I could not get home for my art gear fast enough. But, it was still sunlit when I returned. The clouds built up while I painted, though, & thunder rumbled in the distance.

Ohio Appalachia

This is a scene near Clarkson, just above Beaver Creek State park. It was evening and I loved the pale green field of grain against the dark trees. The blue hills in the distance with just a hint of pink in the sky. The crown vetch and some iron weed almost ready to bloom in the foreground gave it some complimentary color.

Fresh Plowed Ground

A scene not far from our home that I painted a year or two ago. This week I worked a little more on the forground and am very pleased with the result. 20" X 24" oil on stretched canvas $500
