Brazos River at Pecan Plantation

PLEIN AIR PAINT OUT,

PECAN PLANTATION

on the shore of the

BRAZOS RIVER

Several Artists got together a couple of

weeks ago to paint outdoors on the

shore of the Brazos River in Pecan Plantation

near Granbury, Texas.

It was a cold and overcast Saturday

morning. We started early about 8 am to

paint the fall foliage of golds and reds.

Even though the weather conditions weren't

perfect we enjoyed God's pretty scenery.

Below is a picture of the painting I did with the photo

of the scene below it.

Here I am bundled up with my new plein air cart that has a

small chair attached to it.  I like to sit and paint. Others have their

own set ups and like to stand.

Cedar Creek Lake House Painting Retreat '09

CANVAS BY CANVAS

A group of artists who paint individually

and collaboratively

The CBC Artists went on a four

day painting retreat the end of October.

We stayed at a Lake House on Cedar Creek Lake.

What fun we had being focused for several days on

just painting!  We had a ton of fun laughing, talking and ate some

wonderful meals.  Artists are good cooks, too.

Some of the group went to Canton's First Monday and

shopped till they dropped bringing back bargains galore!

We were quite productive during our painting time. About 30

pieces of art were produced including drawings, oil, watercolor and

acrylic paintings, pen & ink sketches, collage and pastel.

I've posted two acrylics and a pastel I painted on the retreat.
