Palouse Plein Air Event - First Place Award

Garden Studebaker (Plein Air) oil on panel, 11x14 sold.

Listening to and obeying the still small voice, rewards us. For several years, I have been having an inner prompting telling me to expand into oil painting. There has been resistance to do this. but since January 2013, I finally decided to listen and obey. I hit it hard this year to learn to oil paint and stretch myself into practicing and learning plein air. Tonight I was blessed and honored to have my painting above chosen first place in the week long palouse plein air event. Thank God for the still small voice he speaks. See the progression of how the piece was created below!

Okay, here is the studebaker in progress. It was part of a class I taught. I still need to get back to finish it.

I have been thinking of paintng an old truck. I have painted Fords, Chevys, Dodges and Internationals. It is time to paint an old Studebaker. So here is one I found and may b painting soon.
