15 x 30 Oil
This
is a larger version of a plein air study I did earlier this summer.
Always a challenge for me, painting on such a large scale. I've been
working on this all summer, adding, subtracting, changing approaches -
more or less experimenting and ending up painting it all with a knife.
It's not quite the vision I had in my head - but it feels very peaceful
to me in all it's muted tones. I remember that day out painting plein
air with Outdoor Painters of Minnesota (OPM). Early morning, after a
night of rain, the air heavy with moisture and the good company of
fellow painters.
