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
11" x 14".
