Tarzan and Jane

This is a plein air painting of the Trinity River at the Audebon Center south of Dallas. I was really enchanted with the vines and small trunks of trees that framed my view of the river. The painting reminded me of something Fragonard might have painted so I kind of pushed that idea. I will probably work on this a little bit more but now I'm in Santa Fe and there is snow out here so I'm thinking of doing a full moon snow at night painting. We'll see.

Trinity River Audubon Center

This is the finished painting which I originally posted on October 16. I decided that it's not easy to finish a plein air painting in the studio. The feeling is just not the same. It's hard to summon up the origianl excitement. However, I like how this painting looks.

Being in the River

It's been a while since I posted but I have been working very hard on completing several paintings. This is one that I believe is near completion. I'm still considering putting a blue glaze over the water, but haven't decided yet.
