9"x12" acrylic on panel
This is a heavenly spot on the John Driver property just outside of Viroqua, WI. How fortunate to have this as a part of your yard! There is a fence (not painted) and cattle roam through this area. I loved the morning light on all of the greens!
My painter friend Becky paints beautiful paintings with a colorful, abstract style. The painting she is working on in the photo turned out beautifully--very Monet-like. Becky and I met in '07 at a Bob Burridge workshop at Dillman's in Wis. (See Bob's and Dillman's link at right.) She is a terrific painter and friend with a great sense of humor! Thanks Becky! 
Paintin' chicks! While painting at the Driscoll farm property outside of Viroqua, the chickens roamed about, pecked at our easels and provided us with a lot of comedic relief. 
The chickens loved Susan! One became so enamored with her painting, it jumped up onto her palette! We squealed! The chicken squawked! And the poor chicken ended up with ultramarine blue feet and a blue stripe down its breast. It gives a whole new meaning to chicken cordon "blue"! (sorry--that was just too good to pass up!)

6" x 6" acrylic on panel
Another piece done off of Maple Dale Road. (See Monday's post.) This was a quick color study to work on trees, greens and water. I like the quick color studies as I paint more intuitively or with more of an emotional response to the subject and don't "over think" the whole process.
