While working on my last blog post about Vinita Pappas's online watercolor class Create 38, I realized I haven't posted two of my favorite paintings. These watercolors were both painted for the online class. The rural views that Vinita has near her in Oregon are so appealing to me to paint.
The first piece below of an Oregon field is a recent one and a favorite. It was fun to paint and I think it was successful. The piece below featuring hay bales was also rewarding as well as a challenge. My first try at hay bales! I find a lots of inspiration as well as challenge in these views. Next I need to see this beautiful area in person!
Two lovely scenes Sherry, the countryside looks very similar to the terrain near me. I wonder what you do with all your beautiful paintings I hope some are collected and hanging up for all to see
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorraine for such wonderful comments.
DeleteGosh these are lovely landscapes, such beautiful greens!
ReplyDeleteThank you Polly! Greens are certainly interesting and varied.
DeleteSherry, these two paintings are more than successful - they're excellent. Scenes so well suited to your style and colors, and you really captured the atmosphere perfectly (although I've never been there eithere - feel like I'm there looking at your paintings).
ReplyDeleteHi Terry, thank You! You're right that these views suit me. Lucky Vinita!
DeleteBeautiful! Full of light and texture!
ReplyDeleteThank you Leslie, these were both fun to paint.
