Enchanted Inferno


Huge granite boulders at Enchanted Rock State Park near Fredericksburg, Texas.
I should have known what I was getting into, but I set up and painted this in broiling
midday sun. I had an umbrella, but I was basically in a heat stupor while I worked
on it. 12" x 15".

shade. 11" x 16".

Inks Lake (again)


My second try at painting the "Devil's Waterhole" at Inks Lake near Burnet, TX.
The devil aspect seems to be that bathers lose their minds here and take crazy
risks jumping off the cliff.  The rocks and water are pretty much as is from my plein
air adventure.  I blew the background hill though and had to repaint it at home.
It's kind of an odd silvery green because it's coming back from a drought that
killed half the trees. 12" x 15".
