This is the beginning of a plein air painting I started today at the Trinity River Audubon Center south of Dallas. What a beautiful place! And the weather was absolutely perfect today. I had some trouble getting all my gear to the site but the effort was worth it, although I'm going out right now to get a box on wheels to haul stuff tomorrow. This is the first day of a workshop that is being taught by Henry Finkelstein. I'll post this painting again when it's finished.

A New Kind of Canoe
Last Thursday I gave a demonstration painting to the Klepper Art Club here in Dallas. They were particularly interested in seeing me paint water. I limited myself to six tubes of paint: three warm primaries and three cool primaries. I did this painting in about an hour and a half, working from a photo. The canoe is a proto-type of a new design with aluminum frame and plexiglass panels. Pretty cool.

A Shell
I was trying to use the principles learned in the Jan Hart workshop about color relationships. I like how the shadow looks like it is wet. That was pretty much one of those happy accidents that watercolor is famous for.
