Blue Enamelware

I may be overambitious with the patterns, but, hey, how can one grow without pushing the learning curves? I love to paint this red stripped tea towel. The quilts are a challenge when posed in the background. The blue enamelware pieces were my mothers treasures. One was a wedding gift to our parents,  hmm, 70 years ago.

Tea Time

Met some artist friends at the Cuyahoga Falls art center. We had planned to paint en plein air, but the weather turned cold & rainy. Now we could have dressed for the day, but they have a neat old building to meet in. This nook overlooking the Cuyahoga River, intrigued me. It seemed to be waiting to be painted. Sold an 11" x 14" giclee print of this painting.

Pond In Autumn

A lovely natural untrimmed pond in Mark's Woods, about a mile from us. The owner is very gracious, inviting me to paint here whenever I like. It should be nice on a snowy day. Lupine only knocked my easel over once, he is usually very careful, but this time got carried away with the excitement of a chase.

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.

Afternoon Across The Road

Just had to paint one more before the bad weather sets in. Also, the farmers have harvested the soy bean fields around us. So glad they left this one more day!

Across The Road

This is the view across from our home. Soy Bean fields this year. Something else next year. On the left is a mowed grass road.

Fair Entry

This is the attractive entry to the Van Wert Fair Grounds. I was drawn to this view when we first arrived Friday evening. Sadly, the crowd never saw the balloons fly as the stormy weather kept them grounded. Still, it was beautiful weather for Plein Air painting. This painting received first place.
