Through the Arches
Oil on panel, 12x16
Brush Creek Art Walk |
Today is the first day of the Brush Creek Art Walk. Starting early, and painting until almost dark, I have only just arrived home. This was my second paint of the day - in zone 3, west of the Benton Boulevard Bridge. These arches drew me in as soon as I passed under them. The sunlight was just starting to hit them, and the tall, beautiful trees hung over to frame the composition perfectly. There is a bit of a glare on this photo - the darks are not showing well on the left side. I will try to take another tomorrow in the daylight. I have actually left quite a bit of my underpainting exposed at the lower edge - and I like it! I think I may just leave it this way..........One thing I love about these plein air events is that I paint several paintings each day. That means that I will now have a buffer in the event that I can't get to painting one day! I LOVE being ahead! It is SO much better than being behind! This is painting number 253 in as many days, and
Day 13 of the 30 day painting challenge.
I love it Tammie! Especially the way the greens and blues of the grass move into the orangish red of your underpainting.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Devyn! I know its a little crazy for me - but I liked the mood it created!
DeleteBeautiful painting! soft and nice colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Judy!
DeleteLovely! So airy and fresh - beautiful atmosphere! I like the underpainting showing, too - gives it a bit of autumn feeling.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I think the secret to a fresh painting is painting on location with a two hour limit! Can't overwork when I have a quick paint to get to!
DeleteNice post thanks for posting
