wensday painting

this weather has been great... i went downtown yesterday to get some painting in, it was cloudy and overcast like it was going to rain. i sat up on the west end to paint the rowing club and the mill but it was one of those days , i could not get the colors to mix like i wanted and some homeless guy kept messing with me . all in all not a very good for this painter. at about 11;00 am

decided i could do no more damage so i gave up...plus it had started raining a little. i returned to my studio and guess what...the weather started clearing up...just not my day. till next time

white post road

bob carr and myself went down close to bath n c out on white post road to do some plein air painting. the weather could not have been better. this is the time of year that you have to go when you can.

everything is changing color.

more earth colors less greens. i started back with a limited palette, just red, blue , yellow with white. i started painting with this palette but over time i added more colors, but now i will stick to the limited palette.

hi guys, here are two commission paintings i am posting here for the new owners see how they are developing.

both of these paintings are 90% done.

hope everyone had a good turkey day ,...i know i did.

am going to try to get some outdoor painting in this friday, will let you know where, if anyone has any ideas..drop me an e-mail

later...

hope everyone is having a great thanksgiving with family and friends. and the weather could not have been any better.

bob and i went to pinetown yesterday to do some painting, but first things first, we made a stop at acre station meat farm a ham bisquit and coffee. then on to pinetown.

pinetown has some old buildings ,a railroad,like most little towns in eastern n c . it was a perfect day.

the boat is from our last trip to mccotters.

mccotters, again

another friday at mccotters marina. a little on the cold side, about 45 degrees with a good breeze, but that does not stop dedicated plein air painters, as you can see ny friend bob carr did do some work from his truck.

i am hoping to go with bob up to pinetown about the middle of the week. i really enjoy going out to some of these small town and painting......till next time..

studio work

here is a couple of studio paintings.

the waterfront is a commission piece

for a very nice young lady in raeford

north carolina.

the ducks i did appox two years ago, i though that if i changed the background it would be more pleasing.

NOTE TO THE PLEIN AIR PAINTERS lets go back to mcotters marina this friday.
