Impressionist Children Painting Contemporary Siblings Boy Girl Brother Sister
"Children Exploring" I have painted this in my head many times. A picture of two of my children climbing on rocks, has been sitting in my easel drawer for years. I sat in my studio uninspired and ready to go fold laundry instead. I came across the photo and that was enough. The laundry would have to wait. I have always loved old impressionist paintings of children. I am glad to finally paint it. Maybe I need to do this more often. hmm....
This painting is 6"x6" oil on board.

Sheep Sunset Painting Autumn Impressionism Alla Prima Daily Art
Somedays painting can become too methodic. I started thinking how easy it is to forget what inspired me to paint something in the first place. Having very little time before the baby awoke from his nap, I picked up the brush and started painting from the "leftovers" on my palette. Pushing paint with only color and value in mind, I ended up with one of my favorite paintings. It was fresh and full of unmixed color. It is important to let our inspiration "drive" with our skills riding "shotgun". Painting everyday allows this experience to blossom. This painting is 6"x6" oil on board.

Schoolhouse One Room Oil Painting Comtemporary
"School's In" I am so grateful that this old schoolhouse was spared from destruction. It sits adjacent to a new modern school. Built in 1886 it sits in excellent condition. When I walk by it I imagine all the school children running around in the schoolyard, while the teacher rings the school bell, so many years ago.
