I'm thinking of getting out this afternoon.
The way the wind seems to be picking up it may
need to be some where protected.
Email me if you are interested.

Impromptu decision to go out painting?

If you feel like painting out today or perhaps some time this week, choose a day and a location - post it on this blog and see if your fellow artists wish to join you en plein air.

"Sunflower" oil on canvas

Jenn painted this wonderfully sunlit sunflower - most artists would paint the sunflower "face on" but she chose to capture it's side.

Sidney Plein Air Paint Out 2008

"Yellow Daisies" Jenn entered the 6th Annual Plein Air Paint Out held in Sidney BC yesterday where she pulled off this wonderful 8 x 10 painting in oils watched by a succession of hundreds of strollers at the edge of the sea.

Green and Red Peppers

"Green and Red Peppers" oils 6 x 12 inches

The two of us tackled this subject - father and daughter - Jenn's style is very evident in this modern treatment of these familiar shapes. See a bigger version by clicking on the painting and press your BACK button to return to this page.

Arum Lily

"Calla, Arum Lily"

Daughter Jenn and I painted this from "life" today. The whites make for a pretty challenging gradation of values, helped here and there by a liberal application of the three primaries.

"Poinsettia" by Jenn Wilson

Jenn Wilson painted this abstract poinsettia today after buying the festive plant at a school fun-raiser concert to benefit travelling ukelele players.
I like the softness and the partial view of an otherwise very busy flower for artists to paint. Nice composition and overall treatment.
