Plein Air Landscape

I haven't done a Plein Air painting in a long time,
but the weather was so gorgeous this week,
I did this standing outside my studio.
  

The Meadow 

8 x 8 oil 

The challenge I gave myself was 

to think of it as painting with cut paper. 

The light kept changing while milky clouds came and went. 

I used some new colors (no neutrals!) 

and mixed them with a pallet knife. 

It was so calming to be painting outside,

especially since I was nervously waiting 

for my first Grandchild to arrive! 

Welcome 

Nicholas David Colella. (Nico) 

We're going to have a lot of fun together!
