Plein Air - Howarth Park, Yulupa Circle


8" x 10"
Definitely not a solid piece or study, but I seem to be painting this lighting scenario a lot - as it occurs often during sunset. When there are lots of trees or other complex shapes, it becomes difficult to paint in a short amount of time. To simplify these scenarios, I think I have to pick out only a few important forms, render them fairly carefully, then just quickly fill in the rest more loosely - as opposed to attempting to render everything I see.

This study fails as a painting on several levels, but again, even in the worst pieces there are usually some color combinations that surprise me.
