Lanterman's Mill

This week our Plein Air artists met at Lanterman mill in Mill Creek Metroparks. The temperature stayed around 50 degrees, but I layered with a wool and a down vest and did not notice the temps. The painting sold "wet off the easel!!"

Autumn At Beaver Creek

A couple of weeks ago our Autumn colors were just beginning to sparkle when sunlit. The Monday painting group met at Beaver Creek State park. I set up at the east edge of the bridge with a view to the south.

Beight's Barn

It may be obvious that I love the old barns. They are becoming scarce. Many are only shells of the original structure. This is still a working barn at the Bieght Farm along State Route 170.

Field & Clouds

Our Plein Air group met near East Palestine, looking east into Pennsyvania. The clouds moved in a dramatic display above the cornfields.

Gordon Park

Michelle, Becky and I looked for the perfect spot to paint. We found this dramatic view of the city of Cleveland from Gordon Park. We set up our easels on a concrete slab. The wind and waves from Lake Erie were a challenge. But, the view was worth it all.

Bayarts

During the OPAS Competition I participated in the Quickdraw. I hadn't settled on the spot to paint until the whistle blew to begin! Quickly looking around, the light on this Bayarts Gallery building really popped! Really I would not have seen this dramatic light if I'd tried to choose a spot at another time of day!

Rocky RIver

The OPAS Competition was in Cuyahoga County this year. The Rocky River seems aptly named! I set up on a large rocky ledge near where the water cascaded down to these impressive stones. The light moved over and out of the ravine as time passed. I had to return the next evening to finish.
