Title or Location: Golden Hour on the Tower
One of our favorite places to watch the sunset is in front of this tower at Nokomis Beach. This painting started as a small watercolor plein air sketch. I really enjoyed it and wanted to do a larger painting in oil of that magical moment when there are just a few fleeting seconds of light left. The light changes dramatically, so I used a photograph as a reference to bring this painting to life.

Title or Location: "Montana Ranch".
The watercolour is of a group of Hereford cattle grazing the grasses of the high plains in Montana with the foothills of the Rockies visible in the distance. I tried to keep my style loose by using a large brush and holding it higher up. I also worked without my glasses on. W&N tube paints were used on 140lb cold pressed paper.
