This is another small plein air painting done at the Watt Avenue Bridge at the American River in Sacramento. There's a small inlet with still water. It's a great place to let the kids play in the water and be away from the main current of the river. (11x14)

This is a small one done by the American River by the Watt Avenue Bridge in Sacramento. I don't live too far from there and it's relaxing to go down and paint after dinner during the week if I can get away. (11x14)

I just finished this one for my son. It's 6 feet by 2 feet. Acrylic. He's making a room divider with three panels, so I get to do two more 6'x2' paintings!

This one was done at Cosumnes River Preserve. It's a really lovely spot. (20x20)

I did this one for my sister. It's a 200+ year old bridge in Richfield Park in central Wisconsin, close to Marshfield. We went there a lot as children. (16x20)

A really different sunflower. I think its 12x24.

Did I mention that I love shoes. This is a small 6x6 I did. I have some others, but I'm not sure where right now. Did this a while ago. Doing these little ones are fun. As soon as I can pry myself away from the great outdoors, I think I'll do a few more!

This is an older one and not done "Plein Air". My take on Santa Cruz. One of my favorite spots.

The Old City of Fair Oaks again. I loved this tree. The chickens run wild in the town square. Right across the square they have a little coffee house that has the BEST muffins! This was at done at David Peterson's paintout in March 2009.

This one was done at Ansil Hoffman Park in Carmichael. It was the April paint out hosted by David Peterson, a wonderful watercolor artist from Sacramento. I love his paintings!

I was suppose to do a Plein Air competition in the City of Old Fair Oaks or in a 2 mile radius of there. We were suppose to complete a painting and take it back to the gallery. It poured all day. I was fortunate as I had borrowed my husband's Easy Up and set it up at Sacramento Bar along the American River. I shared my dry space with a nice watercolor artist doing the same paintout. We didn't end up entering our paintings, but had a good time all the same.
