Coffee Or Tea

                 "Coffee Or Tea"

                    Plein Air 

                      Oil 14" x 11"

My friend Lesley Haflich and I were painting downtown Noblesville. This is the Noble Coffee and Tea Company located on Logan Street. I was almost done with this painting when I had to leave for work. 

I returned back to the site to finish the painting after I was done with work. While I was painting channel 13 WTHR was on the same corner interviewing people. They asked if they could film me painting. I told them they could. I thought "how cool is this"! When they were done filming me the anchor man asked me if I vote? I told him yes. He then asked if they could interview me about "If I'm elected I will not serve". He wanted my thoughts on this. I told him my opinion on the matter. During the whole interview he talked about me being Noblesville local artist and they showed me painting on the 6pm news. 

This was a great day. I think of myself being a little lucky that day. I just happen to be in the right place at the right time. I think now I should have bought a lottery ticket, maybe I could of won the big one!

     On site photo of Plein Air Painting

This painting was done off of Howe road in Noblesville Indiana. I have loved this view for many years of the soybeans  golden color. 

I made a few changes to the painting by moving the trees to make it more interesting. I didn't want the new houses in the painting. I wanted it to be viewed as if the subdivision hadn't been built yet.

The Train Depot

                "The Train Depot"

    Carmel On Canvas Plein Air Event

                      Oil 8" x 10" 

           

       

     My easel set up early on a Saturday  morning. 

I was attracted to the light hitting the building and the cool shadows. 

The Wicker Chair

             "The Wicker Chair"

                    Oil Plein Air

                        8" x 8"

I picked this subject, because of the look of the old siding on the house. Then I saw the wicker chair. The sunlight was shinning through the tree creating wonderful shadows and light.

Quiet Morning On The River

    "Quiet Morning On The River"

                  Oil Plein Air

                         8" x 10" 

I painted this by the steps next to the river at Potter's Bridge. It was quiet along the river that morning. The water was calm, and in the background was the sounds of birds singing. 

When I was have way through, there were three men and a three year old little boy getting ready to go kayaking. It was amazing to me that the dad of the little boy gave his son a kayak of his own to paddle down stream. Of course the dad had his son's kayak tied to his, so nothing would go wrong. I thought that's a lot of trust, and a great way to teach your child how to be independent later. 

I also met a photographer who lived and had a studio in the same town as me. It sure is a small world. She asked if she could take my a photo of me painting the river, for a contest she was entering. I hope she wins! 

There always seems to be something interesting going on around me when I am plein air painting. Life never seems to be boring.
