Art Feast at Chesterfield Arts. Almost every year since it started, I have donated a painting to the Chesterfield Arts Fund Raiser titled Art Feast. I was going to donate this painting, but I don't think I will be attending. I am going to paint another painting for them. The painting is on a 9x12" wooden panel.

The Lake in the Morning. A larger painting from my plein air sketch posted almost a month ago. The painting is 16 x 20 inches.
River Island. I was at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers on Saturday and was fascinated by the island in the middle channel.

Bevo MIll
Thursday, November 08, 2007
Last Weekend. Last weekend I went to the Bevo Mill area in South Saint Louis. I just couldn't get into painting. I didn't find the Mill all that interesting and my effort was awful. I drove around looking at the little houses in the area and painted this one. I realized that I had brought my bad paints and that is a big mistake. You've got to use the good stuff, at least I do.
Orchid in a Chinese Bowl. There are all these orchids here so I will be painting them. My mother is a huge orchid fan. Hopefully, the plants will cooperate and bloom! The weather is starting to get cold and I won't be painting outside as much. I still have many ideas for landscapes so I won't totally abandon them over the winter months.
Log in the Creek. Logs in the water are hard for me to paint. I am working on a larger painting with fallen trees in the water. This is a study for that painting.
