My teaching schedule is over for a while, and painting outside is really getting me fired up! This is a two hour oil sketch of a local church's quiet backyard. I'm now working on a larger version.

Here is another quick study- of a garden in the rain. It was my first outside painting for more than a year, and although it was a dark scene, it broke the ice for me.
