"Quiet Crossing in South Dakota"

Montana Thanksgiving 2015

5"x7" original watercolor

140 lbs. cold pressed paper

We drove east from Broadus, MT.  

We passed through the northeast corner of Wyoming and into South Dakota. 

 It was snowing heavily when we spotted the deer crossing the highway.

They were in no hurry and the last one seemed to linger on the road.  

Luckily the traffic was extremely light.

There were some patches of snow on the highway as we went through this pass.  

We missed a snow squall here because we were cleaning off the windshield.

It was very cold causing windshield washer fluid line to freeze. :(

We travelled to Montana this past Thanksgiving.

This little painting is on the way out of Missoula to Bozeman.  

It was the first time I have been this far away from Pennsylvania for the holiday.

I hope to complete 30 paintings in 30 days this January.  Most of them will be from the trip.

Happy Painting 2016 to all!

"Holiday Tree Trio"

5"x7" Watercolor on 140# Cold press Paper

Arches Bright White

For this simple little painting, 

tear painter's tape in half 

and use the strips, torn side out,  to mask the tree shapes. 

I like an uneven number of trees.  

Make the trees different widths and use different spacing between the trees.

Paint your loose background above the fence base. I used only Ultramarine blue and Burnt sienna.

Carefully peal off the tape and finish your painting.

"Five Silos Farm"

5"x7" watercolor on 140# cold pressed paper

Arches Bright White

This farm is just off the Rail Trail between Lewisburg and Mifflinburg PA.  

Lots of Mennonite buggies and bicycles passed by while I created this little painting. 

It is Sunday and they were heading home from church 

A curious couple stopped to see what I was doing.  

The husband said the silo on the far left is a recent addition to the farm.
