Well I finally made it home after two and a half weeks taking care of my daughter , the girls and the new grandbaby. So today I hit the makeshift studio in the garage and started finishing up some paintings I started before I left.
As I said in an earlier post, I am taking some on line courses with Dan Edmondson and the last lesson I was working on was giving me fits. So the vacation from the painting seems to have paid off because I got back into it today. I have sent it in for a critique and we'll see what the recommendations are and the final in a few days.
I also have been working on a plein air piece of a spot in my friends garden. She works in her yard every year and adds to it. I must say it is beautiful. I love her yard. They live on a farm outside of town and he raises cattle on the side.
I really need to start working on distance in my landscape paintings. I am having a hard time with the background looking like its in the background. I need to get out more and work on this. Any suggestions from you would be mucho appreciated. Maybe with the weather cooling off I'll be able to do that. I know everything comes with practice and that is what I need more of. The coloring didn't come out very good from my camera I'm going to try retaking that tomorrow under better lighting.
Oh well, not bad for a beginning back intermediate artist! LOL

I think your painting with the watermelon is beautiful and those grapes are amazing.
