Hi All, just got back from the beautiful rolling wine country of Augusta, MO. It’s about 40 miles West of St Louis and is a welcome retreat from Springtime weather weirdness here in Colorado. Although it rained a good portion of the time I was there, I still managed to get some painting in. I cower under the hatchback of my Exterra when it’s raining, so I manage to stay somewhat dry. The problem with this is that I sometimes cant get to the ideal vantage point, and the hatchback is about one and half inches too short, so by the end of the session I need a chiropractor on deck!!
I took a first place at the “Paint the Katy Trail Waterholes” day. I painted the painting below entitled, “Missouri Greens” of the old car. The light broke out this day in the afternoon and turned in to a very nice day. I went through 2 small tubes and one large tube of Cad Yellow Lemon on the trip as the greens were Spring INTENSE!!
After the event I taught two 3 day workshops which were a lot of fun. Luckily the weather cooperated the whole time and I didn’t have to break out the contingency plan for rain during a plein air workshop. If any of ya’ll students get on this, list your comments below!!
Anyway, below is the body of work from the trip, in no particular order. If interested in purchasing any, please browse to the Available Landscape Painting section with the navigation bar above.
