Sunlight on the Huzzah

A painting friend and I attended the Steelville Missouri Plein air event in June.  One of the days
a free day to paint at a location of your choice, so we ended up setting up IN the Huzzah River
With the cool water on our feet, standing in the shallow rocky river.  It was so amazing. I started
With a alizarin underpainting to highlight the red rocks in the water, and captured the cool shadows on the water from the overhanging trees... a delightful experience...

Sun on the garden path

Painted in the shade at the Missouri Botanical Gardens  with my Plein air buddies.   This little path winds back to a bench behind the water lily pools.   It was a great location on a sunny summer afternoon.  I love capturing the light on the stone path and various plantings.

     I had just a bit of time the first day to get the shapes in, then came back at the same time of day the following week to finish...
