U City in Bloom ( Univeristy City, MO)

Yesterday I painted at Jerry Birkhead's Garden in University City for the U City in Bloom benefit Garden Tour.  It was a beautiful day, cool, sunny, just wonderful. His Graden is replete with many garden statues, lights, furniture on a cobblestone patio. Here's the putti from a fountain. Another painting from the day will be posted shortly. !6"x12" oil on canvas mounted on wood.

End of Summer New Plain Air Paintings

The summer has Flown away., Never did as much painting as I wanted since I was involved in working on a major commission.  I'll post on that separately.  I did do some painting and up to now have been unable to share them as I have had time to post them here.
I've recent listed several paintings on eBay.  Here they are with their links in the captions.  All painted plein air, in oil.

Last Plein Air Class Bowl Lake in Forest Park

Last Plein Air Class in Forest Park.  The weather forecast the night before had called for severe thunderstorms, possible tornadoes.  The day turned out to be warm, sunny with a slight breeze and some clouds.  I did two demonstration watercolors for the intrepid artists who came. Each is 12 x 16 inches on  300 lb paper. They were painted at Bowl Lake in Forest Park.
