Sainthood

I titled this surrealistic work, Sainthood.  I think I got bored with plein air painting.  Too much of the same thing over and over again...plus all the bugs outdoors.  I'm still removing stink bugs from my truck that got in there last year.  Stink bugs, gnats, yellow jackets, ticks.....you name it, they've haunted me.

Swirl

Well, this sure isn't plein air painting.  This is a modest sized abstract painting in oil.  I titled it Swirl.

These are sequential sketches from my sketch book. Each is a continuation of the first sketch as you leaf through the book left to right (starting at the bottom picture and going to the top).

I started this sketch on Sunday but the wind blew so much I practically froze. So, I took another photo and finished this at home. It is of some non descript buildings that back up to the rail stop in Boyd's Md.
