It is from my early life in the mountains that I developed a love of the natural world which now includes vast prairies and endless skies.

It is a little brighter in this photo than in real life. I need to adjust those reds. I will try to post a better pic. To visit my ebay gallery and possibly bid on this painting click here

A Sketch at Dusk oil on canvas
To Bid on this Painting and Visit my Ebay Gallery, Click Here
One of my favorite places is just a couple miles from the house, through a fence, up a hill and across the fields. That is where the yellow orange grasses grow. They light up at this time of day. It is so pretty and one has to paint quick in order to capture it. This is a plein aire sketch from a couple of days ago. I often love these sketches more than a painting that is a labored over, large painting. This one is perfect just as it is and coveys a feeling of joy at being in that place at that moment. My husband mentioned that we only have a small window of opportunity to paint in these wild places before the chiggers, ticks and heat arrive.

A beautiful evening
Well this weekend I was left to my own devices as Scott was out of town, taking a group of young, and not so young musicians to the Folk Alliance in Kansas City. It has been unseasonably warm here with this particular day rising to the 80s!... In February! When ever it gets like this I am always in a quandary, 'to garden, or to paint?' So this day I gardened until my dog told me that it would be a great idea to go take a walk down to the back 40 of the Gilcrease Museum, just down the block from us. So I packed up my paint and my pup and off we went. We parked ourselves down by the prairie garden where I had a great view of my favorite field to the left and to the right, some amazing clouds lit by the fading sunlight. A full moon began to rise as I painted and it made it into one of the paintings. They are both for sale on ebay this week or better yet, purchase here for $25 off each one The first one is 9x12 on linen, on board $225
