5 Plein Air Pieces...in One Day

This was the first of 5 pieces done within a 24 hour period, on October 1st. It felt good to get the first one done....a beautiful, calm, very grey morning that gradually brightened by the time I finished this.

Plein Air....5th in One Day...

 

This was the 5th and last piece produced on location in 24 hours. It was early morning and the sky changed quickly. There was fog when I started, and a fair bit of clearing by the time I had finished. The mixing table is near my car, which helps hide me, which I like, and it also keeps the wind off the paint, which prevents very quick drying. I keep a spray bottle on hand to prevent premature drying, but it really helps to be out of the wind. (sold, and going to Australia)

On Location....September 29

On Location....September 29
..it was spitting rain this morning, so it was either set up the umbrella over the rig, or paint in the car. It worked out ok....intermittent wipers on every so often, duct tape the painting to support board, duct tape the support board to the steering wheel, water cup in the cup holder....tarpaulin on the seat. I set up the paint from the back hatchback, and only brought the essentials up front.....that really limited the mess. Next time I'll put a garbage bag over the gear shift, so I don't slop paint water as I dip my brush at the cupholder.

Plein Air on Location

 

A few more shots of recent plein air sessions. Today I used the more portable aluminum easel. It was a cool, beautiful morning for the first day of September! (painting in bottom image sold)
