The summer day was very pleasant and fun for our plein air group, producing quite a few nice paintings. We start up our plein air group in May.  Love being out in the beautiful otdoors in Idaho and Washington.

Me Painting Jackie - Plein Air Experiences

Yes, we'll be out and about again.  My friend and fellow-artist, Jackie Jewett, is usually a part of our association plein air group. When we painted at Rose Lake, Idaho, I captured her painting a little abandoned cabin. She liked it so much, she bought it to put in her studio.

A beautiful location with lovely grasses, we thoroughly enjoyed that day. Paintings like this are a wonderful source of good memories.  I'll soon be putting this one on an art card available through GCU.

Market Scenes

It's been forever since I posted on the blog, due to various things. But, I have been busy painting. After doing the Market Day and posting it last year, I began to think about our own local Farmers Market in Kootenai County. So, during this past summer, I took many photos at different times to paint from. This one, "Best Bread at Market," was done first and, now I am in the middle of an oil painting of the Killarney farms stand. I may still change this one a little, but here it is for now.
