Two studio paintings from July

I have been busy and feeling pretty well with lots of paintings to share from July. Here are the first two, using reference photos from last fall. I'll have more to post soon, paintings I did with my plein air friends, and demonstrations at the Washburn class. This first one was started as a demo in Washburn.
