Back to painting oils today! When painting outside

Back to painting oils today! When painting outside I get to become consumed in the wild environment surrounding me and meditate on my subject. Getting outside to paint grounds me for the rest of my week. However, some days, it’s just not possible to get outside considering weather and little ones. So I finally had some time to get back into this plein air painting of wildflowers at the batture that got disrupted by rain (and still a work in progress). While I love painting outside it is lovely to have a candle, a cup of tea by my side, and no distractions (at least during nap time).

Another foggy painting. We haven’t seen the sun since we’ve been on the mountain. It’s been very mysterious and magical.

I found a moment to paint this afternoon. We’re spending Mardi Gras weekend in the mountains. Our whole trip has had thick fog rolling through. Sometimes you can’t see 10 feet in front of you.

A warm up watercolor from yesterday. It was cold and rain was in the forecast so I was trying to do short setups instead of one big painting. Of course, it didn’t rain in the morning. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #pleinairpainting #watercolor #oaktree

I painted in Audubon Park today with @nolasia . Rain was in the forecast so I went with an 8x8 wood panel I had prepared. It was cold and windy with a white sky bright sky that obscured the details of the oak tree. #pleinairpainting #oilpainting #oaktree

Last Friday I went back to City Park and painted the canopy of the oak grove again. I love painting these branches because I can’t just assume anything about the form and shapes. There are so many different textures with the Spanish moss draping from the branches and ferns climbing up the trunks. I tried a bigger canvas this time (20x16). The others have been 12x16. I’m hoping to do some even bigger soon, pending good weather! I think this is still a work in progress.
