Devon Horse Show, Barns Painting

Plein Air painting, painted while I was at the Devon Horse Show, looking across the Gold Ring (set up as a schooling ring at the time) at the iconic Devon barns.It's hard to believe it's situated right in the middle of town. The painting is an 8 x 10 oil on stretched canvas.

239 Sunday Under the Oaks

A beautiful Sunday afternoon in Spring. A free concert outdoors. An new amphitheater, with wide terraced grass tiers, stone walls and walkways. But it seems empty. Off to the sides under the old oak trees of the homestead turned park are the crowds. So this was painted standing in the open looking back to everyone enjoying the shade.

236 First Radish

We got the vegetable garden in back before Easter. Squash is up, one hill of cucumbers, sunflowers are almost a foot tall. Green beans are just about to reach their trellis. The basils, parsleys and chives in the herb garden are providing us with fresh herbs. But most the most important plant in the garden is the radish. Matures in three weeks. The first food from the garden. Here is the first radish of the season.

235 Sunday Concert in the Park

Sunday in the Park. An afternoon concert in the open air. I have my easel and canvas set up amongst the crowd and am painting the people watching the show. This must be how the impressionists felt, outside painting people enjoying themselves.

232 Byway Afternoon

Paints with corgi 2. Actually, this is paints with corgi 1. Painted just before the Afternoon Impression while talking a corgi into staying next to me and holding him from chasing cars.

At this point in the afternoon, the angle of the sun changes quickly, the light 0n the trees varies and you can almost see the shadows moving across the road to cover the trees.

No time to think about what you are doing, just paint. Except when I have to kneel down to hold the corgi and talk to him, keeping his attention from the passing car. ( We live on a dirt road, with slow traffic, otherwise he would have been taken back to his pen inside the fenced in yard)

230 Afternoon Impression

Perhaps a better title for this painting would be "Painting with a Corgi II" Not that there is a corgi anywhere in this painting. I took my easel out to paint the roses in the garden late yesterday afternoon, hoping to get some nice slanting light, but the sun had already gone below the trees that are behind our house. So off I went, through the gate and down the driveway to where the trees were still in sunlight. The first painting was started and at this time of day, the sun moves quickly what was still in light would be in shade in a matter of minutes. Not exactly speed painting, but no time to waste, just concentrating. Until the corgi showed up. One of our corgis who decided to hop through the fence and see what was happening. So rather than take him back to the yard and his pen or get a leash, I kept painting and watching him and calling him back ( he still finds many things of more interest to him than my commands) and then holding him by the collar as cars drove by.

The first painting was finished. I had two canvases with me, so I began a second one, this one. Looking back across our pasture, across a honeysuckle covered fence to an old barn and trees silhouetted by the lowering sun.

229 Down East Morning

There is a small corner of the North Carolina coast, across Core Sound from the southernmost of the Outer Banks known as "Down East" since it is east of the town of Beaufort. A string of small towns and communities among the salt marshes, you can still hear the old English accent that was also prevelant on the Outer Banks until recently.

This is a view across a bay on a morning that promises become another great day for kayaking, fishing, crabbing and just messing around on the water.

222 Catching Some Rays

It seems that Winter might be ending, at least for a few days. So Theresa and I jump in the car on Sunday afternoon and take a ride around Granville, Franklin and Warren counties. As usual, it seems that I find most of the interesting subjects just around the corner. It was a nice day, still a bit of chill in the wind, a good day to hunker down and enjoy the warm sun.

218 Sailing Away

What better way to spend a February day than dreaming of the tropics. Sailing on the trade winds. Blue sky, blue sea, no mud, no snow. I am here in the states, but the schooner Russamee is in the Caribbean. After seeing this painting, one woman commented that sailing was on her "bucket list." She needs to go sailing now, for perchance it takes, she will go sailing again and again or it will lie lows, nagging in your subconscious. Like an painter who isn't painting, a feeling of something undone.

217 Mountain Farm Morning

Summer morning in the Great Smoky Mountains. Still cool in the shade, but in the sun is the promise of a hot summer day. Behind me in the trees is a stream. The corn is high and off to the right along the garden fence, the sunflowers are higher still. Sounds good in the middle of February.

216 A Hard Run

A German Shorthaired Pointer after a hard run on a cold winter morning. That green in the background represents the pines at the edge of the field. It was pointed out to me that he has "psycho eyes" in the painting. A trick of the sunlight, but don't German Shorthaireds alway have psycho eyes?

212 Evening Fire

I had a very hard time photographing this painting and I am still not very satisfied with the image, it just doesn't show the color and the light in the original.

Here you see another of my repeat models. Fidget has been painted lying on the carpet in the sun, on the piano bench, lying in the sun, outside in the evening light and lying in the sun.

Scroll down and you can see a close up of the painting. The bumps and texture in the painting are actually the threads of the canvas.

It was late afternoon on a cold day early in December. I was at a horse show at The Barracks near Charlottesville, VA painting the view looking out towards the Blue Ridge Mountains. For the duration of the two hours I was painting, those three dogs were all over the bed of the truck, hanging out one side, then running over to see what was happening on the other. Yet not once did they try to get out of the truck. They did check the progress of my painting, but didn't give an opinion for good or bad.

I am continuing with the theme of warm spring mornings. It is just too cold for North Carolina. This paintings inspiration also goes back to the same painting trip as "Spring Planting" yesterday. The sun and shadows, roof lines and chimneys create a geometric backdrop for the organic forms of flowers and bushes. Fun to paint.

203 Back with a Pig

What can I say....I had to get a pig painting posted. This one seems a bit more pensive than the other pig paintings.

Thanks to the internet, the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy and listing of local farms selling produce, I found a farm raising Gloucestershire Old Spots less than twenty miles from our home. I thought I would be trekking to Virginia and north to find them, but sometimes if you look in your own backyard.....
