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.

Farm Near Reiff's Greenhouse

"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.

Plein Air Camp Hill.  

This is my submission for the week long competition.   There was some heavy rain on Wednesday. (Not good for watercolors). I painted the riverboat Thursday morning.  There were some big puddles left that I wanted to take advantage of.  This is on City Island, Harrisburg, PA. 

 Later this morning I will be competing in the Quick Draw event.  I'm still trying to decide what to paint for that!
