River Bank
Painting No. 7-E-12

On Saturday I painted along the Walker River, near the Marine base in Pickle Meadows, California.
This is one of my favorite fly fishing areas....lots of nice trout.

Still Life with Pears
Painting No. 3-E-12

Always practicing, working the eye and hand.
I don't paint many still life's, but I wanted to keep exercising. I think I need to focus on creating another 100 paintings, this helps to keep it rolling forward.

Trail to the Lake

Trail to the Lake
Painting No. 1-E-12
oil on canvas
(plein air)

Went to the lake last night. Cold, windy, cloudy, aspen trees swaying back and forth making lots of racket. This area is well known for having lots of bears, every 2 seconds I stop and look behind me. Didn't see a single soul, which doesn't bother me, I enjoy the wildness of painting alone in the mountains.
