Featuring Mr. Jim Pettijohn

This painting in oil was a beautiful view of the pond across the street from the Briarcliff Shopping area.  It was one of the many locations our group has selected to paint this summer.



Jim will be showing his work at several different venues this summer.  Check our list for dates and directions.  Zona Rosa is coming up!





This painting is from a trip Jim took to the Flint Hills in Kansas.  Wow, take a good look at the reflections in the water.  In addition to painting, Jim is a master wood carver and a very talented photographer.

June 29/ Lewis and Clark Park/ Kaw River/ Pleasantly breezy and in the mid to high 80s.

View of the Kaw River and I-70 over the river.

Jim P. with a view of a bridge/highway.

I parked the car in the shade and set up to paint.  Now if Debbie P. was with me, she would still be searching for a good spot to paint.  

Jane had a great location in the shade.  Her view of the underneath of the bridges was complicated but fascinating.

Jane's vast supply of paints.  

Jane looking comfortable with her set up.

Peggy's view.

New tip for the day.  Jane had a 'el cheapo' plastic scrapper she was using to rule straight lines.  Worked like a charm.
99 cents and straight lines with all that architectural subject matter.

Channel 4 news was there to photograph the flooding.  The trucks were barricading off the entrances.

Look closely and you can see Jane in the shaded area.

Jane's finished 11 x 14 oil.
