sunsets are fast this one was done in about five minutes

the talk that night was that we people are fighting a lost cause

no one can really portray the grand beauty of the sun's rays touching the curve of earth

sunset over the bird sanctuary

port aransas is my island time place

rockport shrimp boat

barbara told me that boats are just squares, boxes in the water

i am sure this will make it easier for me to paint them next time

this is near enchanted rock, in the fredericksburg area of texas

the austin plein air group spent a weekend there last spring

it is also a cattle ranch

which i believe is owned by two old heifer bulls

they are huge,twenty years old and very happy

just to the right of the painting, is an oak grove where the bulls spent the afternoon dozing in the shade

plein air iris

they all pose for us and want to make sure we get their best side

a group of us paint with virginia vaughn at the coast

one day we were given access to the backyard of some people that no one knew

we had stopped to eat and as artists will do, were looking around for a great view for the afternoon plien air session

they asked the people that owned this place if we could paint from their yard and they were so nice to let us invade with all our easels for the rest of the day

selected

this is a watercolor that was juried into a show by bob burridge

it was my first juried entry anywhere and having bob select it boosted my confidence thankyou bob

you can see his work at www.RobertBurridge.com
