A Plein Air done back when I was able to get around easily. Ala Prima.

One of the most pleasent days weather wise that I ever had painting PAs.

20 x 29 ins acrylic/ foamboard

The blue on the ground is not quite accurate color.

This makes me think of spring. Interesting to see realism from you, I can see your hand in the strokes.I knew it was your work as soon as I scrolled . A quiet gentle piece, I like it

It looks like it was a great place to spend the day and a great place to paint. Well done.

 

[Desforges]

Great colours

Oh wow! I really love this one. Every mark. ❤

 

[Bizzibee]

That is really great. I like the blues especially. Lovely and loose!

Thanks Lyn -
Yes, it was late spring, glad you could feel it.
I'm going to blame you for it when I now post some other realism tries.

Thanks Sno -
The spot where I painted from was under a bridge, to get out of the sun, and there were a couple of big snakes around, but a great place anyway as you say. Wish I could return.

I like it too, and I try to keep it where I can see it to remind me.

Thanks Bizzi -
I have the Thalo and FUB together on the palette and I don't know which one I quickly used; probably both.

Wonderful. Really more or what I would call Inspiré du Plein Air where rather than a painting of what you saw - a painting of the inspired emotional response of what you saw.

Right on !
That's exactly how I feel about it Bongo, Thanks.

This is really really nice. It is certainly more realistic than your abstracts, but shows a tiny hint of abstraction with the loose easy strokes and use of color.

Thanks PSA - I never thought about the abstract viewpoint at the time, I was lost in the moment.

I love the looseness, that you convey so much with it and the colors you choose. Well done, a pleasant painting to enjoy over time!

Very expressive brushwork. Works better when I squint, probably better to see it in person. That’s quite a large size for plein air.

Thanks ntl: I'm glad you get the pleasant feeling too, that's why I keep it in view in the studio.

Thanks a lot for that observation; you're right, the posted photo does look better squinting. Therefore , I took your lead and darkened it a bit in my simple photo program and that made it look closer to the original.

I can't seem to get the blues on the ground to come out right, but hey. Thanks

 

[Artyczar]

Still love this!

Me, too!
