Heaven City Oil Pastel 8x9 plein aire painting

Quite warm out today sat on a towel placed on a plastic bag. One of my pants legs dragged on the ground & got soaked. Struggled a bit with this drawing. My friends are a lot quicker than me.

Oil Pastel Vernon Marsh off Frog Alley about 8x12

My sister likes the colors because it's not gray like winter. I think you just have to observe the colors. They are a bit muted in winter but they are still there.

Phantom Glen Park, Mukwonago

This morning as I was driving into Mukwonago the snow was coming down pretty good, the streets were covered with snow and traffic was moving very slow. I thought, "Oh, no. Are we going to be able to paint this afternoon?" It was still snowing at noon but by 2pm it had stopped, so I called Viv and we went to the park to paint. I painted oil pastel and Viv painted water colors.

Collage resources

I read a book called Collage Lab by Bea Shea. Very interesting. She has a website http://collagelab.typepad.com/collagelab/
