Autumn in West Virginia

Michelle, an artist friend from Wapakoneta, came to visit one day this week. We searched for a good spot to paint on the West Virgina side of the Ohio river.  We found this spot near Newall. The temperature was very summery for November. Perfect for Plein Air!!

Calla Road

One section of Calla Road peters out at the edge of what is now the Mill Creek Park Wildlife Sanctuary. At one time it was a fish farm and there are several ponds in the valley to the left. We have painted here often. Last week the color seemed to be along this lane. I returned a second day to paint with a friend, to find the autubon club spotting a variety of migrating birds.

Buhl Park

The city of Hermitage Pennsylvania asked artist to paint Plein Air throughout the park during an outdoor craft festival in October. The park is well kept with many trees. These trees struck me immediately! It was fun to paint on the edge of a circle of craft tents, with families and elderly and young people milling about.

Cannery Road

Yesterday afternoon there were gorgeous cloud formations. An Amishman who came by when we painted on Snipes road last week recommended this view on Cannery Road. He saw us painting yesterday and was so pleased that we took his advice. We had a little over an hour to paint before the rain came down in torrents. Jan invited us to her place for critique and soup and to dry out.
