After my Hudson Valley Workshop experience last summer I continued to work in my sketchbook every week. Usually this was from the model, but occasionally I would go into the field and sketch. The next logical step was to get back into painting on location from nature.
I bought a French Jullian easel and some bug spray and started painting with oils in the classic Plein Air tradition. Here are my first few paintings from that experience. Both are oil on canvas 16 x 20. Total painting time was under three hours each as the lighting changes so rapidly that you must work quickly.
