The Paisley Pig

antique store in Shelbyville, KY

on the quaint little main street right

in the heart of the city.

Please stop by and view all of the 

antiques and paintings. 

The Marsh in Cape San Blas, FL

On a visit to Cape San Blas, Fl this 

past fall I had an awesome time 

standing on a pier overlooking a

beautiful marsh as the sun was setting.

  So I painted it in about 30 minutes so I could 

remember the feeling of the moment.

Was also peaceful watching

fish jump and horseshoe crabs scurry by.

All while the birds were fishing.  I loved it.

Sold

I will miss this plein air piece,
but glad it is in a great home.

Show at Graeters Ice Cream in the Highlands

Had a fabulous one person show at Graeters at the Douglas Loop.  

Was very successful and fun to show in a place

where I grew up. 

Thank you Meghan Pendergest, manager,

for letting me share my art.

  

Old Distillery

Enjoyed painting this old distillery at

a friends farm today.

Whitehall Series

June through October 2014

The Exhibit "Olmsted Parks II" paintings by the "Plein Air
Painters of Kentucky" has been extended through October of this calendar year. One of the main reasons it has been extended is because we have over 80 paintings of the parks; 19 paintings sold during the original exhibit. The parks are so well received by everyone and those that were sold are now off the walls, leaving us with space for new work that hasn't been seen.

People are on vacation during the summer months and so many missed the opening that this was a win-win for everyone to extend the exhibit. So, if you didn't get to stop by the first showing, please do come by anytime and view this wonderful work by 28 KY Plein Air Painters!

The Gallery Hours are: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from
11:00 a.m - 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 11:00 A.M. - 2:00 P.M. or by appointment.

We are out painting on site each Thursday through October.

Thanks, and please do drop by the Gallery to say hello!

Tom Sawyer State Park

Always fun to go painting with friends, but when you

meet new friends that is always an added bonus.

Met a gentleman, Ken Tripp, riding his bike and getting 

prepared for a charity ride for Parkinsons.

He stopped and took pictures of my painting and

added them to his blog.  Please feel free to take

a look and donate if you can.

Painted at Gardens at Ray Eden.  There is

a white cat on the chair that got me interested

in this composition and I didn't even have time

to put it in the painting. Not that you would even 

see it. Ha!  

July 24, 2014

Painted at Whitehall, and was able to produce

this in about 40 minutes.  Will go back sometime

this summer and finish it.

The Castleman Monument

Well, I have to take Luke directly after

day it happened to be Cheezits and 

watermelon.

Sketch a Day

I have started doing a sketch a day for the fun

of keeping myself in constant contact with

art everyday. 

Lawrence Rudolech Workshop

There was a great opportunity to take a

three day workshop with Larry Rudolech.

Two days were beautiful and sunny, the third

day not so much. In between the raindrops the sun

peeked out and I took advantage of the moment.

Thanks to Larry, the way I paint in plein air was

completely turned around for the best. 

The biggest tip that worked for me was to paint

the focal point first and the background last.

That was new for me, because I have always 

painted the background first and focal point last.

Now, this idea did not work for everyone.

It is something to consider if you are looking

for a new way to paint.

Below are the seven new paintings that I

finished at the workshop.

Thank you for viewing my paintings.

To Paint -  the spirit of women or horses in all settings is legendary,

from the quiet pastoral walk in the field

to the power and energy of the horse racing world. 

Wisteria

Have to pause from painting for a moment to enjoy

the wisteria on my deck.  I have the pleasure of 

viewing and smelling this awesome plant each

year that the frost doesn't get it.  Which is about 1

out of every 3 years.  Can YOU smell it?
