Oil Painting

I had an urge to do some larger landscapes, so this is one of them.  It is a scene in the south of France, one of the many tree-lined country roads.  Such roads are among my favorite subjects to paint, and among my favorite places to explore on road trips (I suppose those two are connected!)

Painted on-site along the Platte River in Colorado.  A pleasure to paint with the sound of the river so close by!

A white iris painted at a garden in Denver.  

The plein-air season has begun!  I had a great winter painting in the studio but now it's refreshing to paint outdoors again.  It's a little extra bother, with all of the packing/unpacking and transport to the painting location...but it is such good practice and so enjoyable that it's worth it.  I did a couple of iris studies on location, and this was my favorite.

A scene in Lyon, France.  In this view I was interested in the narrow slot at the bottom of this outdoor staircase between two old buildings.  Lyon is built between and along 2 rivers and on one side goes up a steep bluff.  This scene is at the bottom of one of the routes down the bluff.
