#wwpw2014 Redding, Ca

A little behind in posting! Geez, I have been very busy with work but gettin a just right slowdown now. I went with the Shasta Photo Club to participate in this year's world wide photo walk instigated by Scott Kelby. About 9 or 10 of us went to the McConnell Arboretum @ 7 a m on Oct 11.

And here is a photo of some native grasses (or weeds) highlighted by the morning sun.

Realistic Unnatural Color

I added the yellow to the grass at the bottom of this photo in Adobe Camera Raw just to add some interest to the photo. Another empty lot shot from earlier this year.

acrylic landscape study and studio painting

I have been working with the interactive acrylics lately, am beginning to really like them. They are versatile, spontaneous yet changeable. I bought a stay-wet palette which helps to keep the paint at a workable consistency. Did this study at Discovery Park in Red Bluff, then did a larger studio piece
from that.

"Edge of the Yard in Spring" oil painting

An oil on a raymar panel, 10"x12" . Sky, grass and our little oaks make a country scene painted by my front door. Heavenly!
