In The Studio: A Couple New Plein Air Oils

Oils

I have been teaching a wonderful group of novice oil painters out in the marvelous Virginia countryside and it has gotten me outdoors painting also.  Over the next few days I will be posting my efforts in these classes and my pieces from my own private time working out in the great open air.  Enjoy!DSC_0004“Summerfield Pond”  12×16 oil on canvas panel  My goal was to keep the pond the center of interest and capture the wonderful light that was sitting on its surface.  Everything else is supporting this concept or idea.DSC_0007“Turner Pond, Sky Meadows”  12×16 oil on panel  This was a glorious day and I although in this painting the water is again a feature of the work the cows are the center of interest and so I keep all other details and contrast less important.  I worked a very strong green orange contrast at the cows which definitely makes them the center of interest.
