St Patricks Day Painting

Zilker Park on St Patrick's day oil on linen 8x12 

Here is one that I painted on St Patrick's day in downtown Austin. The day was beautiful with the spring green is really starting to come out. 

   I also wanted to let everyone know that this weekend I will be participating in The Marble falls Bluebonnet Music and art festival. There is a plein air paint out as part of the festival with a silent auction of the works on Saturday night.  What could be better than good music and art. This is why I love Texas.

Island Palm Sketch

"Island Palm study" oil on canvas panel 6x8in

This is a little plein air of a palm tree on South Padre Island I painted on Friday morning. I ended up painting a larger version for my demo. I brought studies and photos of other stuff but I really like how this turned out so I decided to enlarge it. I have also decided to sell some of my small plein air works on ETSY. For those unfamiler ETSY is like EBAY but only offers handmade or vintage goods. If you are interested in purchasing just click on the link or the gallery on the side of my blog. PS I am having a problem getting the image on ETSY so it should be up as soon as I get it fixed.
