October at Quarry Hill… This was painted on the most beautiful late October day–sunny and 65 degrees, no wind. It was a perfect day for painting. We spent the day at Quarry Hill Orchards and enjoyed the people picking apples, buying pumpkins and enjoying the […]
All plein air painting days are fun. However, some are definitely more challenging than others and really test our mettle as artists. This mid-October chilly day definitely tops the list. Mark and I decided to hike out into the middle of a farm field to […]
These two plein air paintings, completed a couple weeks apart are my ode to the Kitschy, iconic images of Marblehead, Ohio. Jacques and the Take a Peach to the Beach sign have been sights for Marblehead tourists for as long as I can remember. Who […]
This is one of my favorite spots, not just for plein air painting. But I took a hot summer day and painted the beautiful scene here with flowers, trees, the buildings, sculptures, everything. There was so much to see and take in and I tried […]
