I was going for the "glow" in this one. These are clementines. They are the sweetest we have had all year.

Overhanging
I went out this morning and sat on a log near a local pond and painted this scene. I was interested in the network of twigs and the reflections in the water.

A Street In Brazil
My son spent a few weeks in Brazil recently and took hundreds of photos. This was designed from one of those.

Down Lincoln Road
I took a ride down the backroads of Tullahoma, Tennessee. I saw lots of good painting scenes, but nowhere to pull over and get out of the traffic. So I snapped a smartphone shot of this scene while at a 4-way stop. I looked at it later and saw the possibilities.

Big Mountain
My sister is not above the occasional curbside scrounging. So, when someone left a 3 foot by 4 foot white canvas out by the road, she scarfed it up, brought it to my house and left it at my house with a brief set of instructions... "Paint something."
The actual commission involved filling a vacant spot above the bed in the master bedroom of my mother's house. We are trying to sell this house and my sister believes it would make a nicer impression with something colorful there.
Not to be intimidated, I broke out my old acrylics and found some reference photographs from our 2007 trip to Colorado. Here are some snapshots of the process: (The brown color is what I toned it with using acrylic medium.)
Three feet by four feet. Acrylic on canvas. Title: "Big Mountain" Thanks for looking!
