Hazy Meadow

Summer Haze

12x12 oil

It's been very hot and humid here and as I was working on this painting that feeling kept coming to mind.  A typical mid western meadow in summer with the hazy atmosphere is what I tried to capture here.  I used photo references from locations not far from me for the inspiration.

Hot and Humid

Laumeir Sculpture Park

6x6 plein air oil

It's been hard to get out to paint with daily thunderstorms and a very hot, humid weather pattern.  Finding a shady spot is necessary if I don't want to melt.  The Laumeir Sculpture park has some beautiful big trees to get under.  This large red sculpture standing in the big open area with the bright green lawn is so striking, I couldn't resist it as my subject.  Just a small study but was fun to do.
