I enjoy painting in alleys. They offer a disheveled, non-contrived composition that appeals to me. Kind of a behind-the-scenes look at how people live. 16x20, oil.

Some quick sketches from last night's figure drawing session.

Plein Air 5-8-14

This painting I did about 5 minutes away from where I live, a farm that I painted once before. The temps were in the upper 70s, a couple light sprinkles, with mainly cloud coverage. It was very comfortable weather to paint during. The tractor on the right is a Massey Ferguson and I believe the one on the left is a Case. 14x18, oil.

Here are a couple sketches from figure drawing last night, a 10 and 20 minute. It was nice to get back after missing the last few weeks.
