Hillsborough Silo ~ Potomac Artworks
http://bfbutler.blogspot.com/2015/03/hillsborough-silo.html
Pastel Society of Virginia. This is from the vantage of Hillsborough Vineyards; it's a small, charming farm with both a treeline and a fence line next door. Beach Cottages at Sunset, Cape May. Pastel on Pastelbord 24"x18". The Charm of en Plein Air. Much of my work is done en plein air. Several characteristics contribute to the distinctive beauty of en plein air. Which then identifies my overall style: softness with an edge. My aim when painting en plein air. Is for alla prima. DC Area Plein Air Sites.

Lancaster Snow ~ Potomac Artworks
http://bfbutler.blogspot.com/2015/01/lancaster-snow.html
Pastel Society of Virginia. I begin another 30 paintings in 30 days challenge this month with a series that will come from our trip to Lancaster PA over Thanksgiving. Painting snow is unusual for me, because I generally prefer sunny climes. I think I will also try repeating from within the series for additional insight and looseness.

Lancaster Snow 2 ~ Potomac Artworks
http://bfbutler.blogspot.com/2015/02/lancaster-snow-2.html
Pastel Society of Virginia. I am going to try a bit of Marla Bagetta's style these days and do some repeation. While the first looks frigid. This one looks harsh due to its greater contrast. I especially like the deep turquoise sky and how it made parts of the snow look greenish. Soft pastel and charcoal on Uart 500. Beach Cottages at Sunset, Cape May. Pastel on Pastelbord 24"x18".

Look" is an pair of creepy eyes looking through a slot, occasionally blinking. The eyes follow as the viewer walks by. Sometimes you can hear a grunt from behind the slot. Look" is a collaboration between myself and Scott Hutchison. Scott created the painted animation and the wooden box, I developed the PIR detection system and software to drive the animation. Blame was shown at the "Interface" group show at Fraser Gallery. Feb 23 - April 4, 2007.

http://bfbutler.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Pastel Society of Virginia. This is painted from an image I took on the way to Colonial Beach, Virginia. It is of a sprawling farm in King George County. The land was as vivid at the deep sky. Much of the foreground leaves the watercolor underpainting exposed. Soft pastel with watercolor underpainting on Pastelbord. Links to this post. Lancaster Silos, Winter. In this part of Lancaster County, much of the snow was just a memory. These silos popped against beautiful cloud formations, full of movement.
