I've painted this scene near Bryce Canyon, Utah, once before. Still trying to get it right...is it better than the original, below?  The original sold at the Marriott Craft Show a few years back.  I like how I used a little more red in the trunks of the trees in the original...maybe I need to try it one more time.

Just downstream from the confluence of the Bullpasture River and Cowpasture River in Highland County, VA, near the "town" of Williamsville. Town is in quotation marks because there is one stop sign and a trout hatchery in Williamsville...there used to be a nice country store there, but it closed down years ago. Still, the Bullpasture River Valley is one of my favorite places on earth.

I struggled with this one and almost wiped it. Then, I debated whether or not to post it.

It's tough to muster the creative energy to paint when you've been wrangling a two and five year old, but I made it happen today. This is an image from our trip to McDowell, Va this July. I'm happy with my cows.

I've been getting a lot of page views the past few days. Russian hackers or legitimate viewers?  I'd love to know...

I had some ideas for how I wanted this to look, but of course it turned out differently and a little more representational than I had planned - I had no scene in mind when I started....it was fun trying to balance it out, and I like it.

Also, 2019 was the10th year of this blog.  Anyone still looking?

As usual, I had a hard time getting a good photo.  Upgrading to the new iPhone any day now...

Haven't painted in a while.  I went back to a limited palette of Venetian Red, cobalt blue, cadmium yellow light, and burnt umber.

This was really tough to paint. I eventually had to go back in the studio and quit looking at it because the light was totally different from when I started.

I've also been calling this plant a philodendron. However, I think it's actually a pothos.  Someone, please correct me.
