Woods Back Of My LA House - PA

[Trier]

The house has since been sold. This painting must be from about a dozen years ago.
One of the hottest days ever to paint, the acrylic dried as fast as I put it on the palette.

18 x 24 ins acrylic/hardboard

The loggers had just started their decimation.

This sure has the look of a plein air. Very nice painting and you're lucky to have it for the memories.

 

[Bongo]

That strip of sunlight makes it.

 

[Perry]

I like that this is loose and not a lot of detail.
You captured the light very well.

 

[Terri]

Beautiful. Shadows and light.

Good job. Acrylics on a hot day or in the wind can sure be challenging!

 

[Artyczar]

I love the busy-ness of this! So much going on and all the lose brushwork. It is just my kind of thing. It has so much charisms in the mark-making itself, like you mastered being able to make an impression of a familiar, loving scene that means a lot to you. I can feel that. Great colors here. Love every squiggle!

Thank you Donna . . . yeah, I am very lucky even though the memories are bittersweet.

Hey Bongo, yep, a big passing cloud darkened the background for a short time and I tried to remember it, and paint it, as fast as possible.
I have a few more I painted from that spot, and some from the house looking back to the spot. Nothing very good, but as Donna says, they bring back memories.

I like that this is loose and not a lot of detail.

Thanks Perry, fast and loose was the only way I could paint plein air.

Beautiful. Shadows and light.

Thanks Terri, I lucked out with the values.

Good job. Acrylics on a hot day or in the wind can sure be challenging!

Thanks sno . . . it was a hot day AND with wind and the brushes turned into clubs with paint balls on the end.

It's great that you can feel that Arty because that 's the way it is for me. Thanks.

I concur with Perry and Artyczar. I love the looseness - the movement and palette. It's beautiful.

Thank you Iain, your kind comment, and the others, have encouraged me to post some more that I did at that place and time.

The energy of your session is very evident in the piece. The colors are vibrant and working for convincing light.
