Beaver Dam State Park

This is my first plein air painting. I painted the background watercolor part at the park, using my new easel, then finished it at home. It’s also the first time I tried painting on a watercolor board.

After receiving some helpful critiques from fellow Art Guild members, I added some things that help to finish the painting.

It was a nice day out with my husband, finished with ice cream at Route 66 Creamery in Hamel.

It Is Well With My Soul

I referred to this hymn in Yahweh Shalom. After deciding I would try illustrating a hymn, I chose this one. The ocean treatment is new to me, and I haven’t painted many people yet. I was happy to find a photo of Horatio Spafford, and he was leaning on something which I turned into a ship rail.

And recently I got metallic, shimmery watercolor paint so used that in this painting. You can see light reflecting off of some of the leaves.
