"SIDES - SIDE BY SIDE"

   Studio "SIDES"                        Complein air "SIDES"
I wanted to see what the difference would be of the same image painted
in two different situations. You be the judge.


NEW "SIDES"
painted in my studio - music playing - no bugs
no twigs falling on my painting and no sand. 
I'm a studio painter for sure make no mistake.

Old "SIDES" painted complein air style. 
I call it com-plein air because I complain the entire time I have to paint outdoors. 
I'm a complein air painter!
Thanks a bunch 
I'm painting like crazy just a bit too lazy to turn on my computer to post.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

10"h X 4"w oil

Last week I rode my bike up to Fish Creek Falls on the first sunny day we've had in a while.

I wanted to check out the water flow and see how much snow was up there. 

Snapped off a few photos, answered some questions for the crowd enjoying the

falls - hopped back on my bike to finish my ride. It was a perfect day all around. 

Wishing you all  a spectacular weekend. Later MB

Thanks for all the comments on my painting titled "Shadows."

SHADOWS

8" X 8" OIL 

It's been intimidating to get back at it - it feels like I've forgotten

how to paint and I've misplaced my MOJO! 

Have another one in the works I hope to finish it tomorrow. 

Vacations are great but the down time can be daunting on the flip side.

Thanks for following! MB
