Now that I have the easel back out I'm putting it to good use! I had a blast today for about three hours straight listening to good blues and painting these two one after the other. The first is from a picture I took from our back porch not too long ago. The second is from a picture I took a couple of years ago at Bear Lake. Interesting note, I painted the same scene en plein air last summer, as shown below. This is my first time painting the same subject in a different season's costume and I quite enjoyed it. Neither are masterpieces but it feels great to be stretching the painting muscles again.

My inspiration for this one was Michael Naples, an artist who I greatly admire. He has done several similar wire paintings including his latest. His really put mine to shame though.
