"Summer Punch Pluots"
5 x 7 in
Oil on Canvas Panel
It's already cooling off here in Minneapolis, we had a freeze warning last night which I was not to excited about. I'm really going to miss summer and the beautiful days it brought, although fall in Minnesota is beautiful. I just do not want it to go to freezing temperatures already, I want a gradual build up for winter. These summer punch pluots are a homage to the season thats ending. I wanted to continue the process of painting in natural light and from life. I'm enjoying more painting in this manner, i'm starting to see more colors and textures that would be missed if I was copying from a picture. I also find you can connect with the subject you'r painting when painting from life. I really love painting this way I get so much more out of it, still trying to adjust sitting down all day rather than standing up.
You can see the making of this painting on my blog:
