This is the second flower painting from my outing at the botanical gardens this past weekend. Its was a little warm for the season but shade was plentiful.

Street Corner

My cousin Karmen took this photo for me. I actually like painting from another person's perspective. I think its healthy. He loves New York. This is from a street corner.

Today I went to paint in the botanical gardens here in Austin. The flowers were in bloom and almost at their peak. I sat and painted by the iris beds in the shade.
A few people came by to watch and take their own photographs of the irises. Pam took a few shots of me painting in the gardens, hope to post some of them soon.

Doing a little exploration for the next painting. I will eventually work on a larger pastel for this image.

Morning Rain

A nice rainy commute to work listening to NPR. Its almost fun if the weather isn't too severe.

Tall Cloud 2

I'm still exploring this image. I worked larger in this one with a 12 by 16 format. I tried to bump up the values and contrast in this painting.
