Three Wheel Drive

Three Wheel Drive 9x12 oil on board

I ran across this old tractor while I was out painting recently.

It immediately inspired me and brought up fond

memories. 

I spent part of my

childhood on a farm, way back when, and this looked

just like the tractor I used to drive when I was a kid,

(and way too young to drive). 

I remember I had to stand up to reach all the pedals

and the gear shift.

It was so much fun and I felt soooo grown up!

Priceless:)

Thanks so much or letting me share my artwork with you.

I did this plein air painting in France last spring when I took

a workshop with Ovanes Berberian,

a true master painter and student of

Sergei Bongart.

There were only four of us in the workshop

which was great!  Very unlike the large groups

he has in the states. It was wonderful to get so much

personal direction from a master's perspective.

The best thing about a workshop IMHO is

to be able to focus on painting and not worry about

anything else.

With so much going on about my house I really

relish these memories of the moody French

countryside and just painting, painting, painting!

Thank you for viewing my artwork, your

comments are encouraged and appreciated!

Shed at Wenmohs

Shed at Wenmohs 9 x 12 oil on board

I loved going out plein air recently and meeting

some new painting buddies from 

Plein Air Austin.

(my link should be on their website soon:)))

We met at Wenmohs Ranch

which hosts some fantastic art workshops.

There was only a handful of us there, probably due

to the 100 degree plus weather forecast.

I had a wonderful time, despite the heat,

and found it peaceful and quiet.

It's been pretty loud around my house lately with the

extensive remodeling going on.

Drills, jack hammers, saws, and more add to chaotic musical mix.

Looks something like this on the outside:

And this on the inside:

Unveiling to be announced sometime in the future.....

Exciting!  The storm before the calm.

Thanks so much for following along.

Did I mention where I've been lately?

Did I forget to tell you that we are in the middle

of a ton of reconstruction?

Tons and tons, you get the picture;)

Thanks for following along and viewing my art!
