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

Dalvay Light 3

Sorry this photo came out bad it was dark this
morning and I shot it without a flash. There is
way more color in this painting that you can
see right now. Last night I worked on the sand
and grasses. I worked in a lot of reds into the sand.
I also added sunlight on top plains with blue into
the shadows. I need next to work on the lighthouse
again to finish the rails. Were getting there....Enjoy!!!ED

The Last Snow 2011

Painted with the group at Ringwood Sunday.
There was some wind gust but the temp was mid 30°s
nice for staying out a little longer. I painted on a 24x18
linen canvas. I wanted to use bigger brushes and have some fun
painting the clouds and sky. Anyway while walking back to the
parking lot a gust of wind below my canvas down the parking lot.

It landed face down on the pavement picking up every morsel of
sand and dirt it touched. I picked it up used a four inch brush to wipe
off as much as I could. Some of the clouds are still there I could make
them out. Anyway I cooled down a little and thought I still had a
great morning being up here!!!! Enjoy! ED
