Delicate Delphiniums by Cheryl Kugler

Delicate Delphiniums by Cheryl Kugler, 30" x 30", oil on canvas

A delphinium is hard to grow. I know. I've tried. So, I knew it would be hard to find one to paint in a garden. But, I found one and happily painted away. The petals are delicate. The morning sun creates back lighting and interesting shadows on the thin flower petals. An analogous paint selection creates soft harmony.

Thank you for your eye and critique!

Lewisburg Garden Wall by Jane Albin

                                                                 "Four Plus Four"
                                         5"x7" Original watercolor on 140#cold press paper

Another small watercolor from Lewisburg.  This is the wall of a garden near the Susquehanna River in town.  I liked the four big evergreens in the background behind the four small evergreens on the wall.

"Morning Sunshine"and "Sun Struck" By Debra Tritt Kreiger

"Morning Sunshine" 8"x10" Acrylic on canvas board

I was happy to be able to paint with my friends from the SVPAP the last two Mondays. Thanks to Petra who was kind enough to share her wonderful property with us. I was drawn to the shapes the shadows made on the barn and the color. I liked having the flowers in partial shade in the foreground. This is part of Petra Wirth's barn and was painted plein air. Thank you Petra!

"Sun Struck" 8x10 Acrylic on a canvas panel

I wanted to capture the wonderful sun light that was highlighting the bright red bee balm that was in full bloom. As the sun kisses little areas of the grasses, tree leaves and shows us the stumps and rock hiding in the shadows. The curve of the tree just framed everything perfectly. There is a stream flowing behind the flowers. Very peaceful!

These and many other paintings are part of a local (Central Pa) September exhibit.

Pathway at Two Mile House, oil, 9 x 12, Lyn O'Neal

This was the little scene that captured my attention at the Two Mile House on Monday when several of us painted en plein air. I was attempting to capture light without the sky in the scene. I also liked all the linear aspects. I tried to keep it simple and within 3 hours.

Garden at Trout Run by Mary Beth Brath

Garden at Trout Run

9x12" Acrylic on Watercolor Paper

The temperatures have been very warm in Pennsylvania this summer. Last week, a few of us gathered to paint at 7:30am to beat the heat. I was ready to leave at 10am and headed for the air conditioned studio! I finished most of this onsite and decided to add more "sky holes" for interest once I was back in the studio drinking ice water.

Happy Garden by Rodrica Tilley

This is the painting I almost completed at the Thursday night demo I did in front of a local arts group, Hill Country Artists. The garden is a rather bright corner of my studio garden here in Susquehanna County. The daylight was fading, but lingering on this scene. It is 11 x 14 toned Wallis paper and I used a mixture of soft pastels. The final touches in the studio pulled it together, I think. What do you think?

Day 25

I love to watch things grow; it is so life-affirming.
You take a simple seed, put it in some dirt, give
it a little water and then watch for that
bit of green to peek above the earth's surface.

The baby zucchinis started to pop out about
two weeks ago in my garden. I could't resist painting this one
with the blossom still attached. Had to do it quickly - it
is amazing at how fast they grow - was away for four days
for the Gettysburg Festival Artist Colony, and some
of my 'babies' had grown to the size of baseball bats!

These are vegetables grown in my trial Carlisle garden this year. Knowing they wouldn't keep forever, I wanted to preserve them in a painting.
