This is a small study of a spot we went to in McCall, Idaho last summer.

This was a fun experiment this morning! I had some leftover paint and a piece of Yupo paper laying around that I had played with before using watercolors (they just wipe right off of this slick surface). So I decided I needed some loosin-ing up before getting into anything serious today. What do you think of my experiment? Oh, almost forgot......it is also done with the knifes....but you could probably tell that by now and a simple composition off the top of my head!

Sometimes we just have to throw caution to the wind!

Have a beautiful day.

"Reflections"

8x10 Oil
To purchase please contact me, Kathryn@anaturalframe.com

Last Thursday Susie wanted to try her hand in oil painting again......we thought

it might be a little easier for her if we painted the same thing so she could see some of my techniques. We had a blast and both paintings turned out very good!

Check out Susie's version of "Reflections" at http://artbysus.blogspot.com/

Lamoille in the Fall

18x24 Oil Palette Knife painting

SOLD

Details

You asked for it! A palette knife painting....Whew,... do

you know how long it has been since I did a total

knife landscape? Hmmmm, at least 16 years ago,

probably longer but I failed to date the last

one I did and cannot really remember.

I enjoyed the challenge and loved the freedom of this

style of painting. Very satisfying when you backup

and see that the blob of paint you just put on

actually does look like a tree!

Thanks for Visiting!

Lamoille Fall ~ Study

5x7 OIL

This is a small study that I am planning on painting a larger

version of in the very near future. It won't be long

now....down to just a few weeks that I will be able to have

this view in the canyon, I am hoping I can go do some more

Plein Air painting up there before the weather gets too cold!

My son told me today.....according to the Farmers

Almanac we are in for a COLD winter... so I am hoping to drag

my pack mule (my husband) out before the winter season starts.

THANKS for VISITING!

Ruby Dome Ranch Study 6x6 Oil

I was rummaging around the studio .......a little
frustrated with the still life piece I am working on
and found this little guy. Yvonne and I had a good
day of Plein Air painting on a beautiful day last
Fall.
I like this one......... and I don't care if anyone else does!

Crocus 5.5x7 Oil

One of the first signs that spring is here....I love
crocus blossoms...but they don't last long so I
had to be quick to catch them in the garden.

Lamoille Spring Melt 20x24 Oil

Lamoille Spring Melt is an older painting that
I have hanging in my home. For a long time one
of my goals was to learn how to paint water....
then rocks under water....I am still trying to master
both water & rocks.

of my plein air pieces are.

Lupine and Light 16x20 Oil Palette Knife

I love seeing the wild Lupine in the Spring. This painting was fun for me, I wanted the unrestricted and abstract
feelings that the palette knife gives me for this piece.
