Plein air painting at Hanson Park - May 26-27, 2016

Thursday evening, May 26, 2016 I'll be plein air painting in Hanson Park along the Wisconsin River in Wisconsin Rapids. Look for me around 5:30pm. I'll be painting some small sketches. I'm looking to inform a larger painting from that area. It's a beautiful park with terrific views of the river and the opposite shore. But then, if you've been there, you know that.

Value studies using markers.

Friday morning, May 27th I'll be back at Hanson Park painting the morning light on the river. ~7am-10am.

Plein Air Painting the Sandhill Wildlife Area, April 28-30, 2016

Had a wonderful time painting with fellow artists on Friday. Deann and Diane joined me Friday morning; Dawn joined me Friday evening. I painted solo on Thursday evening in the rain. The colors were beautiful but the rain and cold were slightly daunting. Friday was a better weather day. Saturday was again overcast. We spotted a pair of swans nesting on Gallagher Marsh, also saw muskrat, otter, deer, great blue heron, coots, ducks, geese, evidence of porcupine and beaver. We could hear all sorts of birds and frogs. There were a few insects plus the ever-present ticks.
