Overlook View of Rush Creek


 

I couldn't resist this tree top view of Rush Creek at the Martha Lafite Nature Sanctuary Plein Air - and I'm happy to win an award for my efforts.  This painting is now showing in their gallery. Painting number 4662 in 4662 days.

Rush Creek Serenade

Rush Creek Serenade
Oil on panel, 16x12
Parkville in Art
There is something so soothing about setting up beside a creek to paint.  The slow movement of the water and the hum of the insects create their own song in this wooded Rush Creek.  The walking trail leads me along one side of the water, while another trail walks up the other side.  This gentle creek joins the Little Platte just a bit further down from here.  There is a beautiful pasture beyond these trees that I painted last year.  That painting sold, so I hope to paint another this fall.  This is my 277th painting in 277 days.  A painting like this simply restores my soul.

Gentle Waters

This is a pretty quick paint of a beautiful creek in Parkville, flanked on both sides by nature trails.  Starting in one lighting, and finishing in another - made this a bit of a challenge.  Since my time was limited, I used a smaller panel and only a couple of brushes for the whole landscape.  I want to paint this place again - perhaps capturing it with a bit more sun next time.  This is painting number 266 in as many days, and Day 26 in the 30 Day Painting Challenge.
