Last night's plein air painting in Fairview State Park. Set up where we couldn’t actually see the sun setting, so caught the golden light hitting the cypress trees. Fairview Glow, 11” x 14” #pleinair #landscapepainting #fineart #landscape #goldenhour #sunset #cypress

Tchefuncte River Bank - Moonrise, 14" x 18" It was a much chillier night than I expected. I'm pretty sure it was summer outside just a couple days ago. Glad the clouds cleared and we got a beautiful moonrise tonight.

I did not get out to paint today, but I have been doing some canvas prep. I always start my paintings with an imprimatura. Generally orange for day paintings and dark blue/purple for nocturnes. I find starting on white makes it much harder to judge values and colors. #pleinair #artist #fineart

2025 is off to a great start. I painted nocturnes, I painted a snowstorm in south Louisiana, and I painted with my Sunday morning painting class. I hope everyone's year is starting off with momentum that we can all carry through the year. Here are my January paintings.

After I finished work today, I went outside and painted our street. Getting to paint snow is something of a miracle here in Southeastern Louisiana. It's been years since we've had snow at our house, and I've never seen this much. Canary Pine Ct., 11" x 14"

We didn’t get out to paint quite as many nights in November and December as I would have liked, but still found some beautiful nights to make paintings. #pleinair #pleinairpainting #pleinairartist #landscape #landscapepainting #nocturnenightpainting #trees #bridge #cemetary #allsaintsday
