30 Paintings in 30 Days #22 Garlic Flowers

Garlic Flowers from a Scottish Garden

It's the first watercolour I've ever posted. I really enjoyed the process. It's very alive, in the moment and has you thinking 6 steps forward. I love that.

These garlic blooms, seemed to dance with each other with a light breeze blowing, in a particularly lovely way. They were delicious too. 

6" x 5" approx on water color paper.

30 Paintings in 30 Days #18 Summer's Walk to the Kirk, Scotland

Summer's Walk to the Kirk

Oil on Board, 8" x 8" 

Scotland's reputation for rain is fast eclipsed by a single sunny day. 

I pitched my plein air easel by the side of the road leading up to the Kirk. Yes, it is that green. Wildflowers open up to the warmth or the sun, birds chirp, bumble bees hum away and I paint for a couple of hours of sheer contentment. This was in June, Scotland's loveliest month, where the sun sets around 10 in the evening, making it plein air artist's ideal scene. 

I have been asked to organize a workshop retreat there. Looking for interested artists. I will do my best to organize the weather.

#14 Kirvennie, a Study of a Sunny Day

Kirvennie, A Study for A Sunny Day

A study for a larger painting of a family cottage in Scotland. During a particularly wet early summer, the day I arrived in Scotland the sun came out, and as I left it began to rain. I would still like to offer a workshop there providing there was enough interest.
