Plein Air Landscape Painting in a handsome dark frame

$290

A windy day at White Rock Lake in Dallas proved to be challenging.  One of the most important things to do when painting in plein air is to be organized so that you can set up quickly, focus on painting, and come away with a completed study.  I usually don't have enough time to finish a painting, but once I pulled out my palette knife it all came together.  I captured the colors of the day...actually, I might use this painting to work on a larger canvas.  This painting is for sale.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Quite challenging this day as the sun poked behind some clouds a couple times but not to much of a change. This view is near Downtown Houston at the Sam Houston Park. They have a nice fountain and a local was taking a break from the hot sun and I had a chance to paint him. Nice spring day!

En Plein Air Palette Knife Painting

This is probably one of my favorite plein air paintings.  I have so many paintings that I started outside, but was unable to finish.  I stuck it out on this one, even though it was a very cold and windy December day at White Rock Lake.  I like the feel of the painting...kind of moody, and because I used the palette knife, there was a lot of scraping and modeling of the oils.  This painting is available, and looks great in a dark mahogany wood frame with a gold inside liner.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks, Kay

Last painting of the day facing away from the sun looking towards the Galveston Bay Channel that leads out into the Gulf. Galveston is on the right and Pelican Island on the left. Below is a shot of the painting as I painted it. Not a lot of traffic in the channel except this one massive ship that passed by and a tug you can see in the photo. Couple of ships were docked in the distance in the painting.

Kind of a wet day as in the aftermath of a rain storm. Today was dry and nice blue skies once in a while. This is at East Beach and the road was pretty much drenched from the rain. Below you can see some vehicles as they passed. it didn't take to long for the water to settle after each one drove by which made it kind of interesting since it was a rush to capture some of the light before the water was disturbed.

Landscape Plein Air

As I post this today the wind is howling and makes me feel as I did the day I painted this small painting.  It was a cold and windy day at White Rock Lake.  As you can imagine, it was hard keeping all of my painting equipment together.  I started with a brush, but ended up painting with a palette knife.  I was painting with a Monday morning plein air group.  Outdoor situations make you paint fast and deliberate.  I probably need to get out of the studio and paint outdoors more in 2015.  This painting is for sale....contact Kay if you have comments or questions.  Thanks for looking....Kay
