Halloween 2010

The temperature was around 38° in the morning.
I painted along a stream where I noticed a burning
bush near the edge of the water. It kind of reminded
me of a spring scene because of the light pink colors
in the leaves of the bush. A black ferret was running
along the rocks. That made my day!
Enjoy ED!

Fall 2010

It felt good to get outside to paint again. The
leaves are changing slowly this year. We painted
a Maple tree with interesting light effects.

End of Summer 2010

Over the July and August months I spent a lot
of time down the Jersey Shore. The surf was
ruff this year with the many storms off the coast.
I was inspired by the determination of the
surf bums. Looking for the perfect ride.
Enjoy!.....ED

The Red Shoes 2010

My mother had saved these shoes down in the
basement.They used to be my shoes from back
in the 70's. I thought they would make an
interesting painting, since they had a lot of stories
they could tell ... Enjoy! ED

Sunday, May 23rd 2010

It looked like rain in the morning that day
around 6:00 am. Almost went back to sleep
but got dressed and made it up to Skylands.
There was a mist rolling over the mountains
but it never rained. The conditions were really
interesting....Enjoy! Ed

Sunday, May 16th painting end of Spring 2010

Got up to Skylands park this Sunday. I was the
first one there that morning. We decided to take
a hike over to the wild rhododendron's. Some of
us went down to the swamp to paint the primroses
in bloom.....Enjoy! ED

April 26th, 2010

We managed to get good sketches done in the
morning before we got rained on. Still enjoyed
the conditions of the day "lots of greens".
Enjoy! ED

Sunday, April 18 th Weeping Crab Apple

Got up late on Sunday. Rushed to get my paints
got to the park a little later. Saw the weeping crab apple
out in the distance. The temperature was about 42˚ and
sunny. A few pedals from one of the blooming trees blew
down and stuck to my canvas. The value matched perfectly.
A little assurance from mother nature....Enjoy!!! ED

Spring, Sunday 11, 2010

Finally got out to Skyland on Sunday. Everyone
came out to paint that day. I painted the crab apple
grove. They must of just bloomed. I missed out on the
cherry blooms this year because everything bloomed
early....Enjoy!!! ED

Sunday, March 7th 2010

Got to work on a painting I started two weeks ago.
The coniditions were the same. Except it was
only 36° outside. I had a great day that morning.
The birds were making a racket "Spring is coming."
Enjoy! .... Ed

Sunday, February 21st sketch

Went up to paint this Sunday. I wanted to get
at least one more painting of the snow before it
all disappears. Its getting lighter in the morning
the temperature was around 32˚. A gust of wind
came from nowhere and almost knocked over my easel.
That's when I decided to quit while I was ahead....
Enjoy!!! Ed

2010 February 14th Winter Scene

I finally got out to paint this Sunday, the 

temperature was around 29° and blustery winds.

Great to see snow on the ground. Haven't painted

outside this year in a several weeks. Feels good to

get outside again to paint.

Enjoy!....Ed
