The Stephenson House

         "The Stephenson House"

                   Oil Plein Air

                          8" x 10"

I have a artist friend Lesley Haflich who has a studio at the Stephenson House. There are four artist in all at the house. It is run by The Nickel Plate Arts. 

Lesley was in her studio painting and I wanted to paint something outside, so I decided to paint the Stephenson House. While I was painting I had a gentleman to stop by that liked what I was doing. He thought it was cool! 

After I was done with this painting Lesley and I went to the Uptown Cafe for lunch. Then afterwards it was back to work for me.

Green Awning

                "Green Awning" 

                     Oil Plein Air 

                         8" x 10"

This was painted at Carmel Center City in Carmel Indiana. The Hamilton County  Artists' Association plein air group held a informal paint out at this location. 

The scene was buildings of little shoppes and restaurants. The green awning is what attracted me to this scene. The light hitting it just made the color pop.

Country Road

                  "Country Road" 

             Oil Plein Air 8" x 10"

I started back to work, and my shifts at work are split shifts. I decided to paint on my down time. 

I painted this painting on the back side of Potters Bridge. While I was there an old friend stopped by to say hello. One of the things I love about plein air painting is the people you meet. Some people are kind, and some are strange. It makes the whole process very entertaining. 

Morning Light On Sugar Creek

        "Morning Light On Sugar Creek"

This painting is from an IPAPA (Indiana Plein Air Painters Association) paint out. The paint out was in Waveland Indiana at T.C. Steele Boyhood Home.

We were allowed to paint in the surrounding area of Montgomery or Park County. I choose to paint in Turkey Run State Park, which is in Park Count.  This painting was just down from the suspension bridge on the banks of Sugar Creek. 

Christmas On Shaffer Street

       " Christmas On Shaffer Street"

                      oil 12" x 12" 

     Christmas On Shaffer Street

This is my nieghbor's house across the street from my house. I think their home is a pretty home. I've been waiting to see how they were going to decorate their home for Christmas. 

They did a nice job, I just had to paint it. I painted this painting from my kitchen window. It was the perfect view. That is as close as I was going to get to Plein Air, because the temperatur outside was too cold for my blood.

Winter At Ft. Ben

      "Winter At Ft. Ben" Oil 16" x 20"

              Winter At Ft. Ben

This is one of my favorite winter spots. Ft. Benjamin Harrison  is a beautiful State Park in Indianapolis, with all sorts of beauty just around the corner.  

Why I decided to paint this, is the beauty of the bridge. The snow covering the ground, and all the colors winter has to offer. Waiting for someone like me to capture.
