Plein Air

Did both of these in the same day.


8" x 10"



10" x 8"
This one took much longer than the other painting. I almost didn't paint this scene because:
a) There aren't many different elements in it - which results in not the most dynamic composition.
b) I knew it would be rather tedious with all the various weeds.
I really tried to get a lot more colors into this one using a semi-impressionistic approach. Once I took it back home, I touched it up for maybe 20 minutes. I usually don't like doing this because the colors end up more generic without the aid of the original visual reference, but this time I think it actually improved the painting.
