This was my first outdoor painting for 2015. It is a view of Saint Paul, Minnesota from Raspberry Island.

This scene is a bird's eye view of Saint Paul from the second level of the Wabasha bridge.

This is the last of the six paintings in the series - the Chestnut Plaza Public Pier. It took 11 nights and dawns. I am not sure why I paint more slowly with each picture. Someone said maybe I do not want to finish. I am grateful for the encouragement from the walkers and fishers.

This is the view of Saint Paul from the Harriet Island Grand Stairs. It is right next to the Padelford Riverboats. It was fun to meet Captain Paul, first mate Mary, and crew Ryan who stopped by to see my progress.

Chestnut Plaza is in Upper Landing Park, in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

My second outing for 2015 was this view of Saint Paul, Minnesota from the Showboat Landing Dock. It was chilly on couple days of the five nights of painting.   Little Danielle was such a good helper, mixing paint on Friday night! I used it in the painting.
