Stunning work, Moscatel!

Moscatel, your paintings are just luscious!!! I love them all.

Pleinair in Christmas Eve 24th. Warm and sunny day: I made sure I'm standing in sunshine, not in shadow.
Oil on canvas board about 18x24 cm.

Worked some more on the painting at home like the lower windows and some unpainted areas. The photo is quite terrible b/c my phone is dead and I have trouble to get the photos from camera to computer which too is almost collapsing . (I need to wish more presents from Santa)

 

[Enyaw]

Nice and sunfilled. I used to plein air in winter and it was fun but nippy on the fingers at times.

 

[Artyczar]

Excellent work moscatel!!!

 

[Grapes]

Wayne & Arty, thanks!

Moscatel, that's lovely.
You're brave, going/staying out in that for so long with little movement. Did you use a heater of some kind?
Pleasant holidays to you and yours.

 

[Terri]

Absolutely gorgeous! Smart of you to stand in the sunshine, but even then this was some chilly work. What a beautiful, sunny palette this has. Lovely!

 

[Grapes]

ntl, thank you! I didn't have any kind of heater nor warm pads for hands. On the contrary, I ended up taking off the gloves and some other clothes b/c it was too hot in the sunshine with the layers of wool clothes I was wearing. Looks like we continue with warm temps till the New year so I'm tempted to go again and do another snow scape. Happy Holidays !

Terri, thank you! Your right, in the sunshine it's warm out there but very cold in the shadow.

I love the thread.

Its not just you.
It usually means the person hosted the picture on another website and then later the picture was taken down at that source. The link here no longer leads to the picture so the red cross is forums way of throwing an error message that it can't find the picture.

I'm kitty kat sitting for a few days. Have a spare board. I'll try to get a small work finished.

 

[Grapes]

JennieJo, That's sweet. Hope to see your work done during those cat sitting days .

Grotius, thank you for commenting on the pumpkin!
I'm so glad your mom is inspiration for you to paint and I'm sure taught you lot about painting when you were younger. It's nice that you dedicate this thread for her. God Bless!

I post here another pumpkin study wip that I'm slowly working on now. I need to paint next the silverware. I didn't spend that much time thinking on the setup, basically threw the things on the table and started painting. I'm working on other bigger painting too the same time so my pumpkin project is going more slow now. Surface is a self made board. I even "cooked" the gesso myself (you don't really cook it, only heat it). Oil on board, size: quite small approx. 18x22 cm. It doesn't have a name yet.
