More Seasonal Adjustments
I couldn't pass up this stack of canoes at Morgan's Ft. Ancient Livery. The dappled sunlight from the thinning trees and masses of intense red, blue and yellow against the fading fall color. They must have more than 200 canoes stacked up for winter at this location, just one of the three the Morgans (www.morganscanoe.com) operate.

Seasonal Adjustments
I feel winter coming on and the above title applies to this 11" x 14", oil on canvas. The colorful canoes are on the ground and some are as gray as the trees will be in January. The constant rains have kept the grass green and the river too high to be safe, lapping at gravel at the very top of the launch ramp. The parking lot is chained and everyone gone home, hopefully to a warm fireplace.

Evening– Reserves Park 6
Evening– Reserves Park 6
16 x 20, oil on canvas, 10/2011Painted at home, at painting group and at the Performance Lexus Celebrates the Arts event. The latest in the Reserves Park Series, the photo here doesn't do it justice at all. Once uploaded, the image has gone flat, with all the midtones brighter than the original. Oh well, guess you'll have to see it in person the next time I display my work!

Above Mt. Adams
I finally got back out with the Southwest Ohio Plein Air group again yesterday afternoon and evening. You couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather. We were painting in Mt. Adams in Cincinnati and I was looking at all the elevation it afforded. The fall color is just starting to come in the trees. I hope it will hang around long enough to allow some painting time. We had such a dry spell this summer, I don't know if it will...
This is a 9" x 12" oil on canvas panel of The Church of the Immaculata. One of the prominent landmarks of Mt. Adams.

Across From Paxton's
This little 8 x 10 painting has been hanging in Paxton's Restaurant in Loveland since the wet paint sale at the end of the Loveland Paintout in June. It didn't sell, so it's been on display with other paintings that suffered the same fate. I just picked it up from there this week and finally got a photo I could post.

The One That Started It All
Looking through my inventory records and comparing them to my postings, I found that I've never shown this painting here. It's Beckett Ponds 1, a 24" x 36" oil on canvas painted in August of 2008. I guess I really can't say I haven't shown it, the header for this blog is a cropped portion of the painting.
I hope to have some new work to put up soon. I have the Hyde Park Art Show on Sunday and a painting demo event on Thursday at a local Lexus dealer. If the painting from there works out, it will be the next up.
