Cloud Hole - #73011

6 x 6 inches Oil on birch ply

$49 + S

Here is one of my demos for my plein air class on Wednesdays. Thalo blue, Alizarin Crimson and Raw Sienna with Titanium White. It was a spectacular day for viewing clouds as seen below. We painted on the Rolston Rd by the fields of Belted Gallaway cows, that has 365 view of the sky!
So facing west and the Green Mts had end of day light ...so dramatic.



There was a row of us lined up, some using our tailgate as studio.



I started viewing this hole which changed VERY QUICKLY!



These two had a personality on their own.






I could paint clouds all day.

Warren on Drizzly Fall Day

9 x 12 inches Oil on canvas board

Painting under the protection of the gazebo in Warren on a rainy drizzly day 36 degrees in morning. You are looking at the Pitcher Inn on right and the Bradley House on left looking north on Main St. I'd call that advanced plein air painting. My cashmere socks helped somewhat, but insulated shoes would have been better. The car headlight reflections were fun but hard to figure out without my camera to refer to. Moving targets and memories!

Cora Brooks Reading

9 x 12 inches Oil on canvas board

I liked the yellow socks so much, I decided to knock out the pale yellow wall and change to blue for the final. Cora is a great poet, writer, teacher, activist, mother, and terrific friend.
Here's a cow's mask I made at Cora's house yesterday for Paij Bailey who was making the rest of her cow costume for Halloween. Too bad you can't see the black heart shaped cheeks on the side of the box. It came out really well.
