Virtual Paint Out June 2010

This month Virtual Paint Out was Hawaii,  for me this painting (6x8 O/P) was a study in values, I enjoyed traveling from place to place in and around the state of Hawaii.  Wish I were there.

Paint out Demonstration

Peggy H.Taylor and I  had a fabulous find and in good time for the poppy, the weather could not have been better. Painting this landscape for me was about awe, wonder and respect recognizing the effort it must have taken to exist and flourish only a few years ago.

 The images on the left take you from my sketch to the final touches.  This painting is a 10x10 o/p and was paint in about one hour and a half,off of Pensacola Road in Yancey, North Carolina
