Solomon's Cabin at Juneau Park, 5x7 acrylic on canvas

Waukesha Farmer's Market, 7x5", acrylic

Quite lively. Afterwards we walked along the river and had a cup of coffee downtown.

North Prairie 57 chevy, 5x7 acrylic

Really enjoyed painting this curvy truck. Only used 4 colors, raw sienna, paynes gray, yellow & white. Day started out warm and partly cloudy, then got really chilly & started to drizzle when we left.

Plein air sketch at Muckwonago river along hwy I

water soluble pencils & stabilo pencils. The light kept changing. At times some areas were brightly lit and other times dark. The color of the water kept changing along with its reflections that kept changing from dark to light and back again. Very interesting. I like the reflection of the clouds in the foreground water.

Foxglove Abstract, Stabilo woody pencils, abt 8x10

This was inspired by about.com's monthly painting project http://painting.about.com/u/sty/submissiongallery/painting-project-abstracted-flowers/and the desire to experiment with my new woody colored pencils.

Vernon Farm Shed, Acrylic, 11x14

Went to a farm that had a pre Civil War barn. So much to paint! Finally settled on this interesting shed. Used 5 colors; white, ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, alizarin crimson, hansa yellow opaque. Forgot our thank you cards so just drew a little sketch for our thank you note. Little cooler today, about 50F, only a slight wind. So the Golden open acrylics were still wet when I went home. Luckily the rain held off and we had mostly sun. Wore my old safety glasses that don't get dark in the sun. I like plein air painting because you're outside and you don't need a studio.
