A Great Escape

Watercolor 11"x8"
I am in a indoor waterpark resort, can you guess what it is? Hint: you can find out by the title of this painting.The painting shows one of the corners of this resort. I only brought my watercolor material with me, since it is easy to set up.

I am not happy about this painting. :(

After Blizzard

I was going to paint a still life, but this snow scene outside my window caught my eyes. Two hours later, this painting was born.

Late Afternoon

Oil on Canvas Board 8"x8"

Since I laid my painting stuff out and I like the reflection of the house in the pond, I painted the same scene in the afternoon.

Sunrise

Oil on Canvas Board 8"x8"

Every time when I saw the sunrise through my kitchen window, I had been tempted to paint the beautiful scene. I finally did it today. It was such a tough task because the light and the color were changing constantly, yet it is this ever changing light that made the whole painting process exciting. The house and most of the pond were painted before the sun rose from behind the house. After the sun rose everything else were dark except for the sunlight and its reflection in the pond. I kept my work before the sun rose as is. This is a very quick "plein air" sketch I finished in 30 minutes. I want to make changes to many parts of this painting, but I will keep these ideas in my mind to make improvements in my future paintings.
