This is an 8X10 oil by Judith.  It was begun plein air and finished in the studio.  Her easel was set up on a public fishing dock facing the Northeast.  Faulkton Lake is about 25 miles from our home.

Bale Out is a 9x12 oil that shows a typical autumn setting

This is a plein air 9x12 oil painted on site by Judith.  A small group of painters set up in a Lincoln, Nebraska city park across the street from this large, picturesque home.

Some new images have been posted on this, 15 January 2015. We'll need to take some time to post title, sizes, etc. If you would like more information right now, please email us: spitshine58@gmail.com. We're glad for your interest in our work.

This is a 16X20 oil on stretched, primed canvas.  The subject is an abandoned church school building in South Dakota.  It's still somewhat structurally sound but has been unoccupied for many years.  Daniel painted a 9X12 plein air sketch onsite and then did this larger size in his studio.  No prints have been made but the original is for sale.  Please email for more informatiion.

REACTIVATING

We'll be entering new images and posts over the next few days.  It's simply resolving to become more active in this mode.  For those of you who have 'stuck with us' we really hope you'll submit any comments and suggestions.  Thanks for checking in.  Dan and Judith

Gene's Mares

This is a quickie effort from today. About 45 minutes spent out in the wind in a hooded sweatshirt hunkered up against one of our sheds in the backyard. These horses live next door ( we live right on the edge of our small town. ) Of course, the animals don't know enough to stand still and that makes for a challenge along with all the other attendant plein air obstacles. But, it is to be considered a learning experience and it's especially good to be getting out now that the weather is beginning to warm.
