Day 98

I had planned to go out painting with my plein air group
today, but the morning started out grey and drizzly.
Not wanting to waste the morning, I started painting on
some projects I already have in the works.  By noon, the wind had
kicked the clouds out of the way, and the sun had popped out,
so I decided to paint the tree tops of the beautiful
maple trees in my yard.  Even with all of the snow we
got last weekend, there were still a lot of
wonderful, colorful leaves to paint!

Only two more to go...

SNEAK PREVIEW OF 'EARLY AUTUMN AT THE BURNSIDE BRIDGE' Antietam Battlefield, Sharpsburg MD

 Sneak Preview of  'Early Autumn at the Burnside Bridge'
(Antietam Battlefield, Sharpsburg, MD)
Oil on Canvas
8 x 16

This coming November, artists Deborah Richardson, Peter Plant
and myself will have our plein air work of Civil War battlefields
displayed at the Delaplaine Art Center in Frederick, MD in an
exhibit entitled 'Hallowed Grounds, En Plein Air'. 

Until the exhibit, I am not going to show any full shots of the
work I have done, but rather some 'slices' providing a sneak
preview of paintings that will be in the exhibit.  I am hoping
that it will tempt people to come to the Deleplaine Art Center
to see the actual paintings.  As you may have deduced from
the title, this 'slice' is from a painting of the Burnside Bridge.
