Ah........Plein air painting (painting on location)!  I'm Hooked!!!!  This is a scene I pass when going to Bentonsport from home 4 days a week.  I finally took the time to meet fellow artists and we spent an early morning painting.  It was nice for a change to "STOP" and really take in the view instead of driving by 55miles an hour.  Location?  On Hwy 2, Southern Iowa.

Going to title this one "Focused".  It is 16.5"x12" and I'll frame it 24"x18"

Here's something I've been working on while at Iron & Lace Store.  Plan to have it hanging there soon.  This is of Bill Printy, the Blacksmith and the "Iron" of Iron & Lace Store.  His wife, Betty Printy, is the potter/weaver.   I snapped the photo of Bill that I'm using as a reference for this image. He was working last fall (2010) on a copper piece for a clicnt.

I plan to do a pastel of Betty soon.  We're still deciding what "pose".  Nothing formal!

This was my still life set up  demonstrating "A Simple Still Life"  for the Tassel Ridge Winery Pastel Workshop held April 30th.  We had a Great time and all those that attended left with beautiful works of their own. 
The space we held this event in is ideal for conducting classes.  Not only did all those attending walk away with beautiful works of their own, we were treated with a wonderful gourmet lunch, and  a tour of the facility by the owner.  Of course, there was plenty of time after the workshop for wine testing and gift shopping.
I'm looking forward to the next time I lead a creative workshop at Tassel Ridge.
