Worked on Still Life 2. Painted the first step of the apples.

By Monday I should be able to resume painting my still life paintings. They are still a little wet.

My paintings are pretty much still wet but they can be painted on in areas. The landscape is the one painting that was for the most part dry. I’m using an old school medium made up of different mediums that dry slowly. This summer when I’ll be painting on the road I’ll have to use a fast drying alkyd medium. Made some progress on the landscape,

All of my paintings are wet so I’ll tie some flies for this summer. I’ll be fishing hopper/dropper rigs which is a small grasshopper or a big buoyant dry fly and a nymph dropper. I want to try a very popular nymph, the Perdigon. It’s a very sparse fly, designed to sink fast into a little pocket on a small stream. I made the “hot spot” a little big.

Painted the first step of plate and cup in Painting #2 and worked on the sky in Landscape-Original #1. Much more work to do on the sky.

Here are the two campgrounds I will be camped at all summer in the Bighorns. At North Tongue River Campground I will be at site #8 most of the time and at Tie Flume Campground I will be at site #21 most of the time.
