Plein Air Paint Out Sunset Kekionga

Sold

What a fun night!  I plein air painted with many artists at the Kekionga Plein Air Paint Out.  This is on the Historic Landing, Columbia Street.  Downtown Fort Wayne.

This is 1 of 2 I completed this evening. 

I forgot my umbrella 🙃  I think I burned my eyes facing the sun, but the back lighting was beautiful.

This painting was sold at the end of the week during the final day of painting.

I have not been out painting on location as much as I would like.  I finally made it out a couple times this week.  Plein air keeps my studio work fresh.  Hopefully the bees (yellow jackets) won't be too bad today.

Roanoke is a wonderful community.  A small town feel with a lot going on.  A strong art community, countless festivals, farmer's markets, car shows block partys, unique shops I could go on and on.  Google Joseph Decuis for an amazing look into a farm to fork establishment.

Fresh and delightful is how I describe this lovely break in the high temps and humidity we have had for weeks.  Makes painting outside a peaceful experience.

detail:

Ok, photographing wet paint on canvas is harsh as you can see.  I am happy to say this painting looks much better in person.  I am enjoying painting on the larger panels but I will have to order more soon.  This one is a bit different from my usual.  As you can see I let a lot of the underlying sketch which is quite dark show in the painting.  This gives a bold contrast, but please note, I never use the color black straight from a tube, way too harsh and nothing in nature is that dark.  Please do not buy a tube of black paint, mix your own, it will be richer and not too dark.  I mix cadmium orange with French ultramarine blue at varying strengths for brown all the way to my darkest

Another very sandy beach painting.  I remember years ago how the sand on the beach would drive me nuts.  Sand everywhere including in your paint  I got used to it and now I don't even think about it.  The warm weather has been good for the soul.   Feeling refreshed and excited to paint on!

Such a mild winter.  We are already starting to see some green pop.  Hopefully we wont have any hard freezes that could harm the buds.  I think the brisk weather and the fact that I haven't painted outside in a while made this painting quite "brisk".  Looking forward to getting out again soon, but not today with the 60mph winds.

I enjoyed painting at the Spring Mill State Park over the weekend.  This historic pioneer village was established in the early 1800's.  Natural springs enabled the saw mill, grist mill and wool mill toryn year round since the water never froze.  The village even had a distillery.  I really 

enjoyed painting on location.

We went camping and my husband insisted I bring my easel.  I usually bring a sketch book or little water color set but this is a family trip and I didn't want to focus on me painting.   My family is so supportive.   Thank you Love!

The colors in real life are so much more than any camera can relay.  I have painted plein air for years but I tend to spend more time in the studio due to convenience.  So getting out and plein air painting is such a valuable link to success in the studio.

Kiddie Pool Summer Days Plein Air Painting

"Kiddie Pool"

Best. Dad. Ever.  We live in the woods on a glacial ridge.  Not the most conducive for a pool.  My dear husband scouted out the best possible spot in the yard.  He came home from Rural King with a big box of the best joy and 8 year boy could dream of for summer vacation.   Did I mention he did this on Father's  Day weekend?  

We had a storm roll through last night that knocked out the power all day.  No better place to spend a hot, soupy day.

Thanks hon.
