Richard Jackson's Barn, 6x8, oil on Wallis paper, $95
This is a great barn. I wanted to get the lay of the land and the way the barn sits on it. It has a hunkered down look, which I didn't quite manage. I made a second attempt, which I'll post tomorrow. I think I'll make at least one more to really get the look of it.
What a great place this is! There are lots of nooks and crannies to the landscape and I think we will return there quite a bit this autumn.

Old Grant Homestead, 9x12, oil on Wallis paper, $475
This painting is now at Deselms Fine Art gallery along with Boxelder Creek and August Morning. They are the 3 I entered in the plein air show. I received an Honorable Mention for Boxelder Creek, from judge Ramone Kelly. I'm pretty happy about that! There were 180 paintings in the show, with awards for 5 and Honorable Mentions for 5. All in all it was great fun and I'm making plans for next year! Happy viewing!
This painting is available at Deselms Fine Art Gallery in Cheyenne.

Boxelder Creek, 8x6, oil on Wallis paper, $275
This painting started out as a 9x12, but got cropped when I decided to frame it in a black frame. My friend Klea mentioned that the paintings that are predominantly cool look better in the black frames than the frames with a warm cast. She is so good at identifying stuff like that! Anyway, the only black frame I had was a 6x8, so I cropped it and made a very exciting presentation I think. This painting is in Cheyenne and will be part of the Wyoming Plein Air show which begins Saturday. I'm a little nervous about the quick draw tomorrow as its outside at the Depot Square in Cheyenne and not at all the type of subject I'm used to painting - and right during the Farmer's Market. But, I guess thats also the fun of it, right?

August Morning, 8x10, oil on Wallis paper, $375
This is the first painting of the day on Tuesday. What a great day of painting that was!! It was perfect weather and we painted all day as we travelled up the road. This was done just a few miles from my house - just a little spot and an interesting outcropping. This is painted on Wallis sanded paper and the combination of using this paper and walnut oil as a medium produced a wonderful luscious look and it resembles pastel in appearance. I think I'm hooked!

What A Drag 3, 12x24, oil on canvas, $650
This is another of the paintings that went to the show. I got a good response and sold quite a few small paintings. It was a lot of fun. The people who put this show on are very good to us artists and lots of fun. We thought we should video the quick draw auction next year and put it on youtube (or however you spell it). You've never seen an auction like this! So, I'm back from that and on to Cheyenne today for more of the Wyoming Plein Air painting event.

Here is this painting finished and ready for a frame. It is going to the regional show on Friday, along with a dozen other paintings. I am on my way out the door to head to Cheyenne for some painting during the Wyoming Plein Air event for the day. On the way, I'm stopping at Wheatland to do some painting at a horse training ranch. I might do some painting before that if I see something that catches my eye - which is sure to happen since this summer has been incredibly beautiful this year!
