Getting Out for Perspective

Marina and Beach Study on primed paper, 6 x 9 

Our weather has brought rain lately. It's been humid and the yard grass grows so quickly, I have to work harder to keep up during the evenings these days. On the up side, I've had a chance to cloud watch, get some much needed perspective on landscape color, and work up small studies to help me with studio paintings. Here are a handful of results from 3 July. These are fun and quick to do with brush, knife and dabs of thick paint...bliss. :) 

Happy Belated 4th everyone - thanks for stopping by and please visit me at
