plein air at Old Stable Bridge

Both paintings are at auction on eBay.

Fourth of July, First painting of the day.

Last night at the Saint Louis Art Museum Book Club, I heard Molly Peacock discuss her book, The Paper Garden. The book explores Mary Delany's and Molly Peacock's life.  Marietta sat next to me.  In discussing the book, Marietta said she hadn't finished it yet, but she wished Molly Peacock would just 'butt out.'   Doug Holland of the Missouri Botanical Garden provided interesting background and insight inter Mary Delany's botanical collages. 
Inspired by Mary Delany I did a collage in today.

Bouquet -Last Class of Botanical Illustration

First sledding day in 2011.

The morning of the snowy day I went to the park and sure enough, there were people sledding. There were large patches of green grass under the trees and the snow was barely an inch. By late afternoon, all the snow had melted. The painting is 8x10 inches and was painted on canvas mounted on birch panel.
