Megan

My husband gave this painting "her" name.  I am trying my hand at making paintings of faces.  I made this at the dining room table on a tabletop easel in Manzanita, from a photograph in a magazine.  It's certainly not an exact representation of the face in the photo, but at least the photo gave me some guidelines.  I'll keep trying...

View From My Hill

A week or so ago I set up my easel on a little bluff on Walker Farm Road. These are Mosier orchards in the foreground below and the river, bridge, and Washington hills beyond.

Lemon and Green Beans

I worked on this today because I decided it has been too long since I've posted anything; I hope you can tell what it is. :-)

Three Palm Trees

I painted this simple picture a couple of months ago, before I started this blog.  Unfortunately, I wasn't on location...this was from a photograph in a magazine.  I like the shapes and the colors.

Trees and Dandelions

It was fun to sit in the shade yesterday and paint the trees at the edge of  Laurel's neighbor's field.  She said the dandelions are going to be mowed down soon; I'm glad they were there for our painting session!

I found this brown cow standing out in the pasture near my home.  She just stared at me, with kind of a "so what" attitude, so I took a photo of her, and this is my first attempt at painting her.
