Snow fade

     This was again up at the pass.  A huge squall came through and this scene was fading in and out.

Layers

     This is another study from up at Lizard Head Pass.  I took this with my iPhone and it looks rougher here than it does in person.

Light on the Hay

     I saw this scene a couple of mornings ago and couldn't wait to get back to paint it.  Yesterday was a very grey day that wouldn't have worked so I had to wait till today.  I got there early and started painting.  I forgot to put on my coat because I thought it wasn't that cold out.  I was so engrossed in painting I didn't realize with the light wind, being in the shade and no coat...I was freezing!  Luckily I was close to finished when I discovered this so I just threw everything in the back of my trusty paint-mobile and headed home.

    This is a lovely, rustic old barn in the area that I have painted before.  Boards with no battens, gaping holes and also missing boards make for the beautiful light that falling across the hay and that was exactly what attracted me to this scene.  When I was growing up I loved to just sit and enjoy a barn such as this.

Orange Sky

I reworked the earlier post "At Sunset".  I painted directly over the old one and gave it more of an orange tint, mostly because that is what the sky looked like that inspired it!  It was a bugger to get the colors right and there are some things that could still improve. Still, I like it much better than the old one.

At Sunset

We had this beautiful sunset after it had been raining all day. I want to rework this one because the colors aren't right.
