The Carousel

 

 

The Carousel was full of energy plein air painting at Forest Park in Noblesville, Indiana. I just had so much fun just being outside painting in the fresh air. The morning couldn't have been any better.

The Old Court House

 

The Old Court House

 

I painted a bigger painting of this court house a couple of years ago. The bigger painting is 16" x 20", and this painting is 11" x 14". I have a friend who just fell in love with the bigger painting, but could not afford the painting, so I thought this is a great opportunity to paint the painting smaller, which would be cheaper. I changed my prospective from the original one to make the two different. What a wonderful day to paint.

The Fisherman

The Fisherman was inspired from a photo that I took of a fisherman in Brookville, Indiana. I painted this for an art show theme "Celebrate the Colors". I had fun playing around with the reds and blues that you see most in this painting.

Autumn Along Whitewater River

Autumn Along Whitewater River

This painting is from a photo I took along the Whitewater river in Brookville, Indiana. My husband and I went to Brookville to scan the area for possible paint sites, with IPAPA (Indiana Plein Air Painters Association).

Brookville, Indiana is one of Indiana's prettiest place to see in the fall. It is surrounded with rolling hills, old barns, and the prettiest river that is crystal clear.

Things In Mom's Kitchen

The painting "Things In Mom's Kitchen" was painted last year in April 2011. I came to her to visit and like most of the times my paints travel with me. I found these items in her kitchen. Her home is just filled with all kinds of antiques. I set these items up to take a try at a still life. I don't do many still life's, I would rather paint landscapes. My mother is the proud owner of this painting. She has it sitting on a small table in her dinning room.

The Shack

I was is Kentucky in April 2012 at my niece's home. I always bring my paints with me when I travel. It was my second day there when I decided I wanted to paint. My niece lives on top of a big hill. The view from her home is just amazing. Over looking the road from below there was this shack. The sun was hitting the building nicely, and the field of wild flowers were in full bloom. The distance of the hills in the back ground helps put some depth in this painting.

Spring Time Trail

 The day was perfect, the sun was shinning, and warm. There was so much to focus on I settled for this nice little spot along the trail.
