Buffalo Creek Bridge Study

 

 

Well this one almost never happened. I went by this spot early in the day and was unhappy with the light... So I started scouting out new places to paint waaay north. It started pouring so I headed back home. By the time I got back the rain had cleared, but I was exhausted!

Came in had a couple cups of coffee, and forced myself out the door to check on it again. I liked the light, and there wasn't too much standing water. So I set up and painted...

Getting everything back to the car in the wind was tricky, but I made it. Proceeded to tuck the painting away safely and got in the car... I reached back for a paper towel for one last wipe of the hands. Turned out they blew out of the car! A whole brand new roll was flowing across the parking lot. In a huff I managed to bundle them all back up... So now I'll be using the bundle around the studio... It's always and experience dealing with nature.

Buffalo Creek Study

 

 

 

 

A quick study of a bush and some wildflowers from Buffalo Creek forest preserve. They've had the park shut down since the middle of last year. There's still only a couple of paths open. But I was lucky enough to stumble upon this bush. Thought it would make for a nice composition with the wild flowers.

I'll go back and explore the ponds and bridges later this year. When I have more energy. But, it was fun seeing what may be in-store for this park. It's just a quick drive away and always full of fisherman, walkers and bikers...

84 - Willow off Route 60

I went into work early today so I could try to get a painting in. Another quick sketch of the Weeping Willow by the Rustoleum building off route 60. This was fun! Completely different than it was in the fall... See here.

And this time I had some company. This big fella was no more than 10 feet away for the whole time. I watched him catch a little sunfish! Maybe some inspiration for a rainy day...

See it in the store.
