en plein air pond 2002
16" x 20" Acrylic on Canvas
Held in Private Collection
Before I knew what en plein air painting was, I went over to my friend's house and sat out by her small lake and painted in the gorgeous heat of the day. I did this over a few days and it was wonderful. I had the headphones on and sang loudly while I painted. Though not my best piece, it has some great things going on. I do did finishing touches on the far grass and by the canoe in the studio... so it is not completely "en plein air".
Then in 2005 I went into the studio and did this from early spring photos of the same pond, different angle. Note there is not algae covering the pond at this time.
