Staying at the Wildwood Lodge

SOLD

 

I couldn't resist painting that cool old car parked in front of that cool old lodge!  As I sat on the bench swing hanging from an old oak, I contemplated this very scene, already composing and painting it in my mind.  I chose ink and watercolor for this place, and I painted from that swing on the lawn.  What a great place to hang out for the day!

Fairfield Covered Bridge

This nostalgic covered bridge in the city park of Fairfield, Illinois a local icon. Painting it for the Fairfield Art Splash in September, it is the first time I've had the bridge on my easel!  This seems to be my year for painting covered bridges - and oh how I love them!  All paintings for this event were to be kept secret until after the show and sale, which finds me playing "catch up" with my posts!  Love this small town and all of it's unique treasures to paint!  Painting number 2870 in 2870 days.
