Morning Kiss

As I was finishing "Mountain Mist," below, the sky was starting to clear to the east, so I turned and painted that view, as well.

Mountain Mist

8x6
oil on canvas

I had to be in Glenwood, WA for business one morning at 9am, so took my painting gear along and stopped by the side of the road to paint. It was incredibly overcast and foggy; my goal was to capture that atmosphere.

Twin Tunnel Cliff

8x6
oil on canvas

Cliffs continue to challenge and inspire me, although I confess I painted this at the behest of a friend who wasn't finished with his painting and didn't want me to leave the location yet! It really was intended to be a "study" more than a finished painting, but I liked it enough to frame it. I guess it proves the "less is more" axiom.

Morning Soliloquy - SOLD

I am not a morning person, but have discovered the joys of a 5:15 am alarm. The twittering birds, the sparkling air, the crisp atmosphere. It's a wonderful, encompassing feeling of being fully alive. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

This is another from the Conboy Refuge area. Several of us in the group painted the same scene, and it was interesting to see the differing interpretations.

This is from a few weeks ago, done at the Conboy Refuge in Glenwood, WA. I've been crazy-busy with painting lately, and am just starting to catch up on my blogging. I love to play under clear skies, but prefer to paint cloudy ones!

Another early morning session with friends. I'm really enjoying cliffs, lately.
