Another attempt to paint along with a Paul George YouTube video.
The sky could really use more darks but when I get a color I like, it's hard to go back in and potentially ruin it!
I'd refine the rocks but the paint is super wet. instead I'll do another ..read more

Painting along with a Paul George YouTube video. His videos are really wonderful. This was my second attempt to follow along ... It didn't turn out the way it was supposed to, but I'm okay with. It was fun to do and I'll try again another day ..read more

Painted these without drawing first, which I think sometimes helps me paint more freely.
Below, one I drew first. The white hellebore was a challenge and it in no way conveys the elegant beauty of a hellebore.
I never had a hellebore in my yard before but now I have this one, given to me by friends who now winter in FL and so aren't home when it blooms ..read more

Painted this in an online class with Megan Swoyer. I like painting with Megan, she favors a loose, painterly style and it's quite relaxing. She's got a nice group of students.
I feel like I overdid this a bit, especially the leaves, but it's okay ..read more
