Snow studies

I worked on these two pieces simultaneously. I move from soft pastels and applying layers of colors to watercolor. The palette for the watercolor has been explored during the pastel painting, so I concentrate on simplicity and the transparent qualities of watercolor.

Johnson Creek

I painted Johnson Creek for the the Johnson Creek Art show. It was a really fun experience and a great feeling to be painting plein air. Nature is a challenging teacher, but you come away learning  and growing artistically.
