Another catch up post (multiple paintings)

I have been concentrating my spare time in designing a website and other activities. I have, however, done a few paintings here and there. It is time to post them.


TELLICO RIVER
This is painted from reference taken on the Tellico River in the Cherokee National Forest near Tellico Plains, TN. I laid down a watercolor foundation and added gouache (opaque watercolor) to bring out the fall colors.




HIGHWAY 40 BLUES
This is a scene I have noticed countless times and wanted to paint. I love the distance, the shadows and the lonely feeling of a long highway.




HILLOCK, MOUSETAIL LANDING
I sat in a camp chair and painted this during a cold boy scout trip to Mousetail Landing state park in Tennessee.




RIVERWOOD LANE
Afternoon shadows and fall colors caught my attention on this typical street in my neighborhood.





TENNESSEE RIVER VIEW
I took a wrong turn trying to meet up with the rest of the boy scout troop and wound up here. I decided to go ahead and do a quick painting while I was lost.




AUTUMN TREE BANK
My family took a little trip to a trail near our house. I stopped near a pond and rendered this.




TULLAHOMA APPLEBY'S
Christmas season 2013…I left a family reunion behind for a little while and drove to this empty parking lot and found some interesting colors and shadows.




TULLAHOMA SIDEYARD
I drove around Tullahoma during our annual visit to the inlaws and found this nice composition near an old school.
