Sedan Lake Morning

Oil, 9" x 12" on gessoed masonite. This is the second time

I've painted this scene but with a little more technique added

to it this time. Sedan, Kansas by the lake.

Woodward Park in Black and White

Every now and then, it's good to go back over

what you know and do a little refresher exercise, such

as a study in values. I had an image I wanted to paint

and since there were so many trees and dappled

light, I thought it would be a good image to practice

my sense of values before going on to the color version.

This helps to see where your darks and lights should

be, respectively. This is Woodward Park on a summer

day when visiting with my son and his daughter Claire.

Nice place to go feed the squirrels. Oils on masonite
