The first two are on sight paintings, and the last is a memory painting.  My apologies for the photography, which is my own.  I will post better ones when available.  But, I wanted you to see the latest things, especially very recent plein air paintings.

  4. Wow! These are fantastic! Did the weather cooperate? Aren't you in heaven to be back out?
    OK, I just have to say this: They make me drool, that delicious color Ooooh! And the simplicity!

  5. Thanks, Debora. The last one is less gray - more true colors, but that's the way it photographed. It is based on the woods around Hoquiam, WA.

  6. Thanks, Brenda. They both were on slightly windy days, but I made it work. The top one is with my 6 color set, with a couple of grays added.

  8. The cones and rods in my eyeballs go crazy when I view your work. It's like no other, and I treasure your unique abilities. Thank you.

  12. Cindy, I wrote about the Six Unisons here.

    I knew where I was going, and knew I had room for @3 more sticks so I added a violet and two grays, I think. There is a small vine charcoal in there, and I take a Thumbox/Judson's. I stuck two pieces of La Carte sanded card in the lid, with a little foam core to hold them. And a sketchbook and a pencil. Very light kit.

  13. Thank you very much, Barbara! It is much like my early color works, but with things I've learned in the past couple years, and some new ideas in there as well.

    Deep, dark woods with filtered sunlight, wet ground below and a wild bush. Violet and gray, with ultramarine (browns acting like neutrals).
