Day 26 - "30 Paintings in 30 Days"

Yesterday I had a chance to drive to Portage to paint with the Plein Air Artists of West Michigan (PAAWM). We met at the Southwest Conservancy offices in Portage, which is an old farm with other transplanted farmhouses and barns scattered among the property. As you can imagine, much to paint, and it was hard to choose. There was about a foot of snow and the day was in the mid twenties, sunny, with hardly a breeze. I was appropriately dressed and even a little too warm, so I managed to do two paintings on site. The painting below is the first painting and tomorrow I will post the second.

Day 23 - "30 Paintings in 30 Days"

"For The Birds", pastel, 6x6, $225.
 framed in a warm silver custom frame with AR glass

A beautiful sunny day here in West Michigan with temps in the teens. The temperature prevented me from going outside to paint, so I just looked out my studio window and liked the snow covered tree and birdhouse. A chickadee goes in and out of this little birdhouse every day, probably to keep warm!

Thanks for viewing my paintings!
