"Lavender Farm" - Susan Ogilvie Workshop Piece

I had a wonderful learning experience at a Susan Ogilvie workshop last week. This is one of my favorites that I completed. It's 12"x20" on prepared gatorfoam (a violet acrylic under-painting with a pumice mixture on top) Used primarily Terry Ludwig's, Schmincke, Great American's, and Girault's.

I'm not doing anything more to this piece...as Susan liked it as is!

"Priest Lake Hay Bales" - Susan Ogilvie Workshop Piece

I had a wonderful learning experience at a Susan Ogilvie workshop last week. This is one of my favorites that I completed. It's 12"x20" on prepared gatorfoam (an orange acrylic under-painting with a pumice mixture on top) Used primarily Terry Ludwig's, Schmincke, Great American's, and Girault's.

This location is near Priest lake, Idaho - we drive by it every summer.

I had difficulty photographing this piece...there are more "blues" in the mountains and sky.
