Ever Feel Like the Sky is Trying to Tell Us Something? Contemporary Impressionism Oil Painting



Ever Feel Like the Sky is Trying to Tell Us Something?

6x6"

No I am not wearing my tin foil hat.  But truly, think about it.  They sky is ever changing.  Sometimes quite dramatically.  Quite the show on a regular basis.  When I look at the sky, especially for us land locked folks, I imagine it's vastness like the ocean above us.

Nanu Nanu!  May the Force be with You!  I want to believe!  live long and prosper!  to infinity and beyond!  for my geekly friends  ;)

11x14 Plein Air Oil Painting Spring Mill Historic Pioneer Village



The Mercantile
11x14"
oil on Raymar Canvas Board

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.

Hiking Cave River Valley Plein Air Oil Painting

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.
