The month of June

Here's what I've been up to this month, June 2008, with my landscape painting en plein air. I've had a great month with meeting new clients and tackling some large commissions. I really enjoy painting on a larger scale, there's much more room for experimentation and learning. I'm looking forward to traveling up north next month to paint in the eastern Sierras and then back up in Oregon for a bit. I know the Freed Gallery on the Oregon coast is anxious for me to paint some new countryside scenes. I miss painting the horses and cows and being surrounded by endless shades of green.

This was one of the more challenging paintings I have ever done on location. I found this amazing tree near the Back Bay off Bayless & Jamboree. The light & shadows we changing at a rapid pace and the ants weren't too happy about my setup and declared war. Jonny -0 Red Ants - 1
