I have taken an interest in painting the rivers around me, mostly in palette knife and sometimes in Plein Air. I have always loved the water, and I’m intrigued by their reflections.
River Reflections Series well underway.

Landscapes from Indiana
“Indiana Overlook” 9×12”
This Fall I visited Indiana.
“Whitewater River” 8×10”
The light changed during the time I was painting this one, from partly sunny to cloudy. I was standing on sand bars, but as I painted I kept adding more white water.
“Windy Fields” Plein Air
8×10” acrylic and canvas panel.
It was cloudy and still but what we see is just a starting point. Sometimes unexpected result come from Plein Air painting. This photo shows how I embellished the scene. Mainly I added a field beyond the horizon for more interest, more elements that are simplified in the foreground. I waited for a sky I wanted to paint, I normally do that first.
Plein Air is a movement!
Plein Air at Hueston Woods
