Hard to believe this was painted en Plein air in November! In Canada! The temperature reached 24° C
This is an old farm up on the South Esk Road on the Miramichi River …and Kelly, my painting buddy and I had a hard time choosing what to paint…so many choices! I’m working in oils here… 8 X 10 in. I finished up in the studio as we lost the sun and the sky was already darkening by 3:30PM. (Touch to enlarge)
Here’s a few recent small paintings (gouache, watercolour and one pen and ink drawing) that will be among some of my offerings at the Affordable Art Fair (previously The Tiny Art Show) later this month…stay tuned for more news on that coming soon!
Where does one go to paint on the day before Halloween 🎃??
My painting buddy, Kelly and I decided on a cemetery….Riverside Cemetery in Chatham Miramichi. A very large park like atmosphere full of trees showing their fall colours…quiet and contemplative. I can’t imagine a painting like this selling, but It was fun to paint (oils on panel - size 8 X 10 in.) and I was really pleased with the outcome!
October 25 was a beautiful fall day that called for getting outside to paint.
I choose this view from the Marven Mcarthy Causeway in Chatham Miramichi…..looking east. It leads over to Middle Island a popular park in the area. Seeing as the causeway closes at the end of October…this was a perfect day to paint in the area. Oils on panel, size 11 X 14 in.
