Spring is Here!!

Painted at Skylands Sunday. It was windy,
temperature was on cool side 45°-42° with the
wind chill. Lots of light effects with sun moving
in and out of the clouds. Nice day, was to cold for
bugs. Felt good to come home with a Spring sketch
for a change. Enjoy! ED

Spring is not here yet!!

Went up to Ringwood Sunday morning.
The wind was chilly, about 29° we set up
in the south part over looking the lake. The grasses
were a bright straw color in full sun. It was next to
impossible to to get the value of the grasses bright enough.
With the help of a little Permalba White w/ linseed oil and
cad yellow medium, I managed to get a little closer.
It was a great morning....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
