BREEZY SUMMER PASTEL

Making the most of the outdoor. Another spontaneous plein air sketch, trying to capture the joy & beauty of a summer garden. I probably cant duplicate the breezy informality of this quick pastel, something about painting outside... 

I like it so much that I spend some discipline time in my studio, brainstorming on the computer.

Without photoshop, I could never add a dainty flower fairy & magical butterfly to this small paste.

New Design!

SKETCHING CONNECTICUT RIVER

"Long Tidal River", the region's Native Americans called it when they first explored the "Connecticut" thousands of years ago. It starts from the Canadian Border. It then runs thru the heart of New England. I'm at the very end of the Connecticut River. The mighty river empties into Long Island Sound. The 410 miles journey ends here.

On my next post, I will talk about the steps for this plein-air sketch.
