Today I’m in Augusta, ky. A little river village very close to my heart. It’s been difficult picking a spot to paint, but I decided on this scene on 4th street.
I’m interested in the porch with rocking chair, flowering trees, hill in the distance while looking into the morning light.
There’s a lot here, and I’ll have to use my artist eye to edit the scene and put it all together into a painting. This will serve as a great example of how painting from life lets you do things a photo can’t
It’s nice to see friends again…especially other artists. what a treat to get a nice photo of ME while at work on a painting?!!!!
This was one of the trickiest paintings I have made. It was such a busy scene, and I had to make a lot of choices about what to keep and what to ignore. Unfortunately, the rocking chair on the porch (that initially made me want to paint this view) did not make it into the final scene.

Thanks for watching!
