This blog was inspired by my good friend and fellow artist, Cleve Page (clevepage.blogspot.com), who is a wonderful artist. I paint landscapes. I began 6 years ago now. I took a brief hiatus due to a personal upheaval in my life.
I have posted some of my current paintings which I have hanging in my home here in South Dakota.
I do not paint en plein aire (en plein aire is a French expression which means "in the open air" or the act of painting outdoors) as I find it distracting, but I do paint using a plein aire philosophy and technique, of sorts. I paint only places I have been, from photographs I have taken. I try to complete the painting within 3 hours of beginning the painting. I do sometimes go back to a painting to make corrections or enhancements, but not always. I paint primarily in oils, but have used acrylics. I appreciate the depth of color and light that oils provide.
I hope you like my work. I feel good about it. I appreciate honest criticism. My paintings are available for purchase.

Ginny.....your paintings are fantastic. I loved the old FL painting and the deep colors and of course Astoria, OR....one of my favorite places. In fact, Scott & I are hoping to get back there this summer. I am so proud of you being in college full time. It's great that you and Cleve have reconnected...tell him hi from me. Love you, Laura
