Lazy . . .

So.

Tell the truth.

Is it lazy to spend a summer morning indoors deep in watercolor?

Day 16 : An Oil a Day 30 Day Challenge . . .

Day 16 : Seward July

Yeah, I took a break.

Not that I wanted to.

It was kind of forced on me by first my sinuses and then my intestines.

I won't go into more than that.

So.

Here I start in once again at Day 16 with a quick and light summer scene.

From the Seward, Nebraska Airport, I can see a far off farm.

Looking so clean and tidy and bright from a mile off,

sultry summer clouds building and dying, building and dying.

Milo is yellow/green with heads ready to turn rust soon.

Special project . . .

Smith-Albrecht Home

This is a special request I received by email from someone who had seen my barn painting.  I'm pleased with this one and hope you can see the little one in the doorway.  That sort of thing gives a simple painting life and including her is the spirit in the paint.

This one goes in the mail tomorrow.

I hope this home portrait finds a happy owner.

High Wind Warning . . .

High Wind Warning

Trying my hand at quick watercolor to start to loosen my grip.  This one took maybe 15 minutes, my personal time limit.  The subject particularly apropos lately as the wind will not let up and grass fires are everywhere, sadly.  Destruction has been minimal but this always has the potential to be devastating.

Be careful out there.
