Hobo Heaven

Hobo Heaven. This last Spring a buddy and I went painting outdoors once a week. We enjoyed setting up in front of this abandoned house. Everything was wild, and I tried not to be so tame in my painting approach.

Purdy Shore

Here is a study in oil of the shore in Purdy, where I have been living. This was painted on site, amidst all the changes of light, weather and tide. I was trained in a studio, where I have spent a few years, so it is nice to get out of that environment and step out into the open air. Challenging and fun!

Big Drift

The last year or so I have been spending time away from the studio, but that doesn't mean I haven't been painting. I will share some of my studies from the outdoors here. Here is an old harvested log, washed up onto the shore, in Purdy. Study in Watercolor.
