Waterfalls, Red Butte Garden (Utah)
I love visiting my daughter in Salt Lake City and walking around there, both in the city and in the parks. I think I have finally finished this painting. It took me quite a while since it is oil paint (Winsor & Newton Artisan, water mixable) and I had to let it dry for a while so I could continue doing some layers. I'm starting to get a little more patient with this process. This is the largest canvas I have worked on so far, 18" X 24" (stretched canvas), and I like working larger on some pieces.

This painting is a lot smaller, 8" X 10" on canvas board. The calves were resting quietly at the farm I visited in Vermont. I guess they are used to seeing all the tourists and customers at the farm. They were behind barbed wire, but I did not include that in my painting. This is also water mixable oil paints. It was my first time painting cows, but I have painted and sketched other animals before. You get see earlier versions of these two paintings in the previous posts.
Fall is finishing up here in New Hampshire. While we still have leaves to rake up, snow is on its way. Meanwhile, Joe and I took a walk in a conservation area in nearby Londonderry, NH. I'm looking forward to the snow and getting out again on my cross country skis.
