This week, I am up in Wisconsin for the Door County Plein Air Festival! I am so excited to be invited back as one of the featured artists in this weeklong, so-much-fun, event! Tonight we all gathered for dinner and an orientation, and tomorrow we will hit the deck running. It will be a week of non-stop painting. I probably won't post any pictures until it's all over because time won't permit. But please wish me luck!!!! And if you happen to be in Door County, please find me and say hello.

Morning on the River - Kerrville Outdoor Painting Event

Morning on the River, 12 x 9, oil on panel, L. Daniel © 2012 - SOLD

Fall color is beginning to emerge! This is another spot on the Guadalupe River in Hunt, Texas. The early morning water was so still and reflective, it was almost like glass. After about an hour of painting though, a breeze came up through the canyon and killed the reflections. Luckily, I had gotten lots of the color information in place early on, so I was able to stick with my original inspiration... that golden mirror image.
