Beginning a painting



Decisions, decisions!  Horizontal or vertical?  What to a paint when there is so much information in front of me.  I try and settle down and think what got me excited in the first place.  Okay, it was converging waters and the force it created toward me.  I put the transparent colors on first as that is when I have the most white to show them off.  I was off and running.  I hope to eventually show you the finished piece.

Plein Air at Sope Creek



It was the first event scheduled by our fearless leader, Don Maier, of the plein air web site, http://www.pleinair.ning.com/.  After a .5 walk up and down rocks and streams, Sope Creek welcomed us with beautiful color and sounds.
