IT's raining Paintings...

It might be raining outside however the Plein Air Thursday group is creating beautiful paintings. This group is very productive turning out incredible art each week. Here is a peek at this weeks submissions.

Carol painted this adobe home using oils. The warm colors
add such interest. Painting is in progress. Next week Carol will
add the cactus. Beautiful Carol.

Linda continually surprises me, and she did it again with this beautiful paste landscape. Linda is
new to pastels but I think she found them easy to use. This
painting is rich in color and shadows. The water is wonderful. Great Job Linda.

Linda is painting this pastel still life. As you can see it is a work
in progress. So far it is a knock out.

Liz painted this woman wearing a hat using acrylics. Her ghost
like appearance adds interest and dimension to the piece.
Beautiful use of color and composition.

Michelle painted flowers that are warm and inviting. The composition
is wonderful which adds more interest to the painting. Great Job Michelle.

Michelle painted this blue tulip. Thinking of Spring
Michelle? Love the colors your using

Beautifully rendered...Makes me want to take a bite..
Nancy your paintings are so great. Love the shadows and the
background is perfect against the color of the cupcake

Now I am really getting hungry. Nancy, this painting is really
wonderful.  I'm thinking its Blueberry.

Nancy painted this glass candy glass. I love the candy kisses
wrapped in foil. Great use of blues and grays.

Nancy painted this still life using oils. I love the flowers, some are soft
looking while others are more crisp. Lovely shadows.

Rita rendered this painting in pastels. I love the intimate scene
juxtaposed against the hard cityscape. Beautiful

Rita painted this using pastels. The more you do on this painting
the better it gets. I love the rich browns you used and the trees against the
cool sky. 

Terri painted this blue Iris using acrylic.Great darks and lights makes for an
interesting painting and this works very well. I think it's a winner. Great job Terri

this painting. This is my attempt to paint more loosely. 12 X 12
