Island sketch
I packed a bag with some watercolors and a pad for our recent family cruise hoping to make a few sketches for practice. I found time for one on Disney's Bahamian island, Castaway Cay.

Alumni Exhibit
North Park University just hosted its first alumni art exhibit and two of my paintings were chosen for the show. It was Homecoming weekend and the opening reception was a "fine arts" evening with music and poetry. The president spoke and there was a nice turn-out.
One of my subjects discusses the nuances of modeling.

Michigan
I've taken a few trips to Michigan this summer for vacation and shuttling our kids to/from camp. And, I made time to paint along the way. This one was done while visiting friend's who have a condo a little North of Manistee on Lake Michigan. It's a view looking toward the Portage Lake channel. 24" x 12" (click image to enlarge)

Wagner Farm
A few weeks ago, I joined THE PLEIN AIR PAINTERS OF CHICAGO group when they came to my neighborhood to paint at Wagner Farm. It's a historic farm that was saved from developers by the Glenview Park District. This is a sketch of Bessy and Doc, their two plow horses. I plan to do a larger studio painting from this and the photos I took.
I hope to attend more of the group's get-togethers for outdoor painting in the future.
