A beautiful spring day in Athens, Ohio.  A great time.

Ohio Field at Dusk

6"x6" Oil on Panel

This is a typical view of the land in Ohio at dusk. Flat or rolling fields with a few trees along the field lines. This is the magic hour when pinks permeate the sky and slip into the land.

I attend a Monday night painting session, and this is yesterday's painting, Ava. I am pleased with the outcome, although...

But to quote my husband, "Perfect is the enemy of good!"

Chateau Chantal

8" x10" Oil on Rag Board


This is a plein air painting done at the Chateau Chantal winery in Traverse City, Michigan. I painted this in June while on a painting trip. This was our first full day in Michigan, a day of pure exploration looking for painting sites. This wonderful winery sat on top of a hill with exceptional views. We thoroughly checked out the winery, and then since it was the magic hour we decided to paint. This is looking down the hill on a cherry orchard facing West Traverse Bay.

Enjoy!
