Cloudland Station's Little Green Schoolhouse

 
This little green "schoolhouse" building was so appealing in the autumn light. I never learned why it is painted green but my guess is it would have something to do with the fact that the country store was bricked in red. Variety is the spice in life. The colors of Autumn were so vivid the Saturday I was able to paint with Sherry, BJ, and Tim in a new locale in North Georgia.

I painted this impressionistic style landscape during a recent paint out with my local plein air group... OOPS. The scene is set in the coastal town of Surf City on Topsail Island, North Carolina. This Surf City Crab sign caught my eye lika a magnet and screamed "Paint Me!".

The hard part is mixing pigments trying to capture the colors.

Row Call

 

This one is finished now. It's just a funky painting with that silly sunflower popping up to say "here" I am.
Sometimes I have to let myself go and be silly. This is the one I began with acrylic primary colors and painted over with oils. It's fun!

Sunflower Family

 

This began out in the sunflower field but it desperately needed some major tweaking. It is so cool compared to the other sunflower paintings I did. I painted til dark one evening. Does it show?
