I was a little hesitant, given my last bout with painting en plein air. But out in the country there are no people to watch, oggle, ridicule, laugh at you, talk to you, so I wasn't distracted at all - and I think it shows!
I picked out an old, short, unused grain silo with a farm gas tank next to it. I think that the bluishness of the silo and the bright orange of the gas tank caught my eye.
This one was SO MUCH FUN!!
My Subjects...
Set up and composition.
Yes, another new Open Box M!! I love them both!! They are so enjoyable to work with. I've put a piece of glass in the bottom and I can't believe how EASY it is to clean them now! Just a glass cleaning razor blade is all it takes!
In the Country - Silo and Tank, 6x8, Oil on Gessoed Hardboard
I really like how this one turned out. Yes, I could have opened up the trees a bit and worked a cloud or two in the sky, but I was so happy to be outside again that I just didn't want to muddle this one up!
BONUS!! Jen got some new photos of me painting outside, so I'll be updating my profile picture with something that makes me look a little more approachable, instead of Mr. Grumpy, hehe!
