Some Scenes from the Countryside

I had to go to the feed store to buy supplies for Bruno. This is one of the views on the route I take.

... a closer shot - that's Mt. Baker looming in the distance.

The lilies are putting out leaves in the ponds. 

A shot of our trail today.

Maggie, in a blurry photo. She is always on the move.

I was tempted to try to cross one of these logs over a gully. Thankfully, I thought better of it - I'll wait till it's drier, and the moss is not slippery. 

I think this will make a good demo for the next class. Once again, we will be doing a very w/w painting, trying to capture the light of a scene.

I spent most of yesterday inside painting, with a quick trip to buy some feed for Bruno. I really need to be outside every day, getting some exercise - woke up with a stinker of a headache. So this morning before work, Maggie and I headed out to the woods.

Thank you so much for visiting!

  2. The scenes you show won't show up here till late April. How I envy you! There is only white and brown in the woods, but the buds on the trees are bigger, a small sign of things to come, but hardly noticeable, unless you're looking closely like I am with my nose pressed hard against the glass.

  9. OMG you made me so jealous with the beautiful photo's. Did you try to cross the logs with Bruno??? I suppose (and hope for Bruno:) you didn't. Your students are very lucky with these exercises. They will become good painters, I'm sure. Have a nice weekend:) xxx
