Plein air and studio paintings..

Greetings!
More paintings just off the press. This is almost becoming a ‘painting a day’ situation.. I doubt I could keep up with a PAD, too much other stuff to get done and I tend to want to paint something more substantial than a glass jar, just to say that I’ve done my painting for the [...]

Howdy all, I thought I should start showing some ‘painting work in progress’ images. This one is an oil painting, 30″ x 30″. It’s of a Snow gum that I photographed up on Mt Buffalo ..
