Kansas City from Kaw Point
Oil on wood panel, 10x8
MVIS Paint-Out - purchase here |
Oh, it feels SO good to be out painting plein air again! Planned by the Missouri Valley Impressionist Society, this is my first time to Kaw Point - where the Missouri River and the Kansas (Kaw) River meet. Watching the ice flow rush down the river while painting was surreal. That ice moves at a pretty good clip! On the land mass at the left side of this painting, an eagle nest lie in the upper part of a tree. Two eagles arose and soared above the river periodically, only once at the same time. This park is located on the north side of Kansas City, so I am looking south to capture this view. It is wonderful to be painting with my artist friends again, especially on a warm February day (almost 70) - even though the wind off that ice was a bit chilly! This is the life! Painting number 771 in 771 days :)
