New Farm

New Farm__8x10 ol on linen panel for Passing America: THe Great Plains__$590 Framed
I write this from Kansas, with a truck-load of paintings in the hotel parking lot! Tomorrow I will unload all the works I have created for Passing America: The Great Plains. It's my story about the passing away of America's small farms and agrarian way of life.
The painting shown here is a scene I see a lot these days out on the Great Farms. The "new farm" shown is a so-called "wind farm". I focus on the landscape, but the windmills are back there on the mesa...this scene is on the Texas plains.

Windy Rockport

"Windy Rockport" 6 x 8 $150

From the North side of the art Center in Rockport we could SEE the wind, but were sheltered from it! So we painted there, Saturday....a fun group of serious painters all enjoying a great plein air session. I teach there once a month and we try something new each session....this time we worked on SPEED....painting fast because sometimes you just HAVE to hurry outside. By the end of the day, we had a bunch of little quickies that I hope will be turned into BIG works by the artists! Tomorrow I will show you my favorite one!
