What’s New? Summer Plein Air Painting
Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Here are a few of my recent plein air paintings. The weather in the midwest United States has been wonderful this summer! It has been around 80 degrees, partly cloudy and with light breezes. For me this is the perfect weather to paint outdoors or “en plein air.” I have minimized my equipment so that I can carry everything without the need of my luggage carrier. I even managed to finish a painting that I started last summer at the Felt Mansion in Michigan.
I also just finished a small preliminary painting for a commission. Once the client approves this, I will paint the final painting which will be a 16 x 20 in. pastel. I won a 2nd place ribbon at the LaGrange Art League and next month I will be in the Alliance of Fine Art, Best of the Best show.
Enjoy your summer,
Sue
