The fog that had been moving from the ocean horizon to the coast arrived in the early evening and gave a glorious golden mist to everything.

I got up at sunrise while visiting my parents on July 4th weekend, painted at nearby Aldeen Park and was enchanted by this lone tree in front of the field. The lone tree has room to stretch its branches.

The colors that I saw in the water and in the sky at sunset were “unreal” in their vivid hue. This sketch is a little muddy, but you only get a few minutes and everything changes so quickly in a sunset.

This little painting was started outside on the back porch of the house we were renting for the week, but I was chased inside by the rain. While water and oil do not mix, my water soluable oils will be affected by the rain. There was a large picture window that I could look through to continue the painting with the same scene in front of me.
While my husband went for a walk, I painted this painting just before sunset.
After the painting of the field that I posted last Thursday, I had a little time left before I had to be back, so I drove along and saw this white boat fading in and out of the fog on an interior lake. It caught my eye and I decided to do a quick small 8″ by 6″ oil sketch of it. It was still raining so I sat in the back of our highlander with the back open.
A beautiful morning in Indiana.
The mosquitos were plentiful and urged me to paint faster as I took in the scene.
