More studio finished plein air work from Camp Robinson WMA in Faulkner County Arkansas.  I'm really getting a lot of mileage there.  This one was cut short by rain but the foundation was solid.

I started this one on site in the Richland Creek Wilderness on a cold and windy evening months ago.  I actually finished it quite a while ago too but as usual, I am slow in posting work.

Here's another one from the winter.  This was started en plein air  at Burns Park in North Little Rock and retouched in the studio.

March 2

Here is another one that started life as a plein air.  I think it was early December when I went out and started this one.  It was a cold and windy day and I was using the Golden Open Acrylic.  I was really extremely please with my start on this but became quickly disappointed as I tried to work it to completion.  I am using oils in the studio to finish it out.

6X8, Oil on Panel

SOLD

Long past due to add something here.  But this is old from the White River Plein Air this spring.  That was a cold, dreary day.  And now here it is, another cold dreary day before I return to this blog.  Time has a way of slipping through our fingers.

Clover Bend, Lawrence County

Clover Bend

6X8, Oil on Panel

I believe perhaps Clover Bend is names after a bend in the nearby Black River but I'm not entirely sure.  There is a historic community school there from the WPA era.  Possibly a precursor to the WPA community in Dyess made somewhat well known as the boyhood home of Johnny Cash.  I think I am going to go visit that on Monday.  This is a plein air painting I did 2 weeks ago.  The weather was chilly and drizzly.  I know a lot of plein air painters who would not have even bothered to paint that day but I think if you only paint on sunny days all of paintings will wind up looking more or less the same.  There is challenge to this flat light that I like.
