Broad Ripple

Broad Ripple is such a fun place to paint.  Lots of people milling about and even a band playing to add to the festive atmosphere.

Brought my paints to Arizona in March and only painted once - darn.  It is so lovely there.
Next year, more painting!

Run, Rick, Run!


Oil on Gessobord

This was painted back in March, 2014. A TBT to Season 2 in anticipation of this season's Walking Dead finale, "A".  The gang would be approaching Terminus in the season finale and I just had a bad feeling.  Yep - Rick should have run!

January/February Still Lifes






Oil on linen

This winter was a slow one for painting - maybe the 55 inches of snow this year and constantly overcast skies were contributing factors.  I will say that I'm much more motivated to paint now that the daffodils have bloomed and the crab apples are showing their stuff against a back drop of spring green and blue skies. 

Above are a few still life studies painted with friends this winter.  Thank goodness for friends or I may not have painted at all!
