I'm really enjoying the rain and painting in my studio. I'm currently taking my small plein air paintings and doing large more finished versions. See my photos below. I have taken one of Emerald Bay from the North Tahoe Plein Air Painting Competition in Sept. 09 and did a large version. Next I took a plein air of gondolas from my trip to Venice, Italy in Oct. 09 and did a large and long version of that. The latest one I did was a portrait from a live model and then I painted a large one. There is nothing like being there and painting from life to really absorb the subject one is seeing!
