On a warm fall day where the temps were in the 70'sm I painted the sunset. I had been painting all day from noon on, first at the golf course, and then by the lake. I had just finished with my kayak painting when the sun started it's journey into night. It was an absolutely gorgeous start to a sunset and,even though I was tired after painting all day, it just begged to be captured in oil. Wonderful end to a marvelous day of painting.

This little gem was painted during an exceptionally fine fall day. The temps had reached into the 70"s and the sun was shining and warm. These kayaks had been pulled up onto the grass in anticipation of winter. They were just lying peacefully awaiting spring and the chance to dip their hulls in water again. I know just how they feel.

This little jewel was painted in plein aire looking up the golf course at Lakewood Country Club. It was a chilly day but clear and beautiful. There were even a few golfers who thought the weather was just prefect for enjoying nature. This piece was created entirely by pallet knife. Just loved painting the park like setting of the golf course.

I will have three pastels at the upcoming 21st Annual MidAmerica Pastel Society Small Painting Show 2017 at the R. G. Endres Gallery, 7700 Mission Rd., Prairie Village, Ks. 66208. Opening night is December 8th with a reception from 6:30-8PM. I will have "Morning Breakfast", "Quick Bite" and "Intensity" in this exhibit. Great venue just in time for that special Christmas gift purchase. Hope to see some of you there.
