Pastel Scarecrow Wilson

 
Building a new studio is taking beautiful Fall weather painting time but I did manage to get out one day with Sherry, who loves to do pastels and this is the result.

Painting Stone Hedge Mansion

 
The most important thing is to stand in the shade. Works for me! I loved doing this painting. An artist or photographer could spend a week with Maria and her garden!

Moonshine--new online bi-monthly newsletter

Check out the new moonshine.southerncreativity.com
bi-monthly newsletter. I am writing articles "In the Field" encouraging artists to paint outside their studios. I recently discovered a member of SAL (Valdosta Art club)is a contributing writer also. I hope to continue with this as the enjoyment I feel overflows. It's a way to pass along the "thrill". I have found that once artists get out there they sometimes have a difficult time staying near the "stove".

Hot Day's Morn

 
8 x 10 alla prima oil on SourceTek Birchwood board Painted August 8, 2007
The night air had not cooled down much from the day before. It was fun to try to capture the warmth. I wasn't there long before drinking water and soda. Attempting to paint quite early in the morning on a very hot day gave me a sense of satisfaction.
