Falls Twp. Park, Sunset

Lakeside Flowers, sunset, oil painting, 11x14

Maria and I went fishing at the lake in Falls Twp. Park. The lake is bordered by bushes and flowers with openings where you can stand and cast from the shoreline. We were walking back from a slow evening of fishing when I spotted this section lit up by the sun.

The Light Show

The Light Show  11x14 oil

On the walk back to the car after an evening of fishing we always look forward to the light show at the end of the night. Some nights its dull others times its brilliant.

The End of a Good Night

This was at the end of a evening of fishing. I watched as my wife Maria put down her rod for a minute and took out her camera to record the beautiful clouds above.
Below is a short video of Maria catching a nice largemouth after we went two hours of not getting a hit.

Fading Light

A quick sketch Sunday afternoon capturing the fadng light on the neighbors fence and yard. I like the shadow thrown by the top of our house on the fence. I happened to be looking out the window to see if any birds were at the feeders when I saw the sun on the fence. I grabbed a 5"x7" panel that had a sketch on it already and painted over it.
Constant pratice keeps you sharp and helps build your knowledge of light and how it affects the landscape.
I do alot of these sketches, the good ones you keep for reference, the bad ones you paint over.

Thanks for looking,
Pat

Last Light at Tyler State Park

Last Light at Tyler State Park 9x12 oil $325.00

This is the Schoefield Ford Covered Bridge, one of the 12 remaining covered bridges in Bucks County. On this particular evening my wife and I were out looking for wildlife and decided to take a walk down to the Neshaminy Creek which runs under the bridge. When we left here we stopped at the field I paint at and were treated to a beautiful sunset.

We have about 8 cardinals that visit the feeders. They stay right up till it gets dark. The last bit of sunlight spotlighted this guy as he got his last drink of the day. I like how the shadow of the unseen portion of the saucer creates the round shape of the saucer, in minature.
