New River Homestead 9x12 oil on canvas panel
Another day of plein air painting. I was up on a hill, kind of exposed today with a little wind. I painted behind the car with the trunk open to sheild me from the wind and the sunlight. I forgot the sunscreen the last couple of days. Again, today I used the palette knife through most of the painting. It was morning with the light to the right backlighting the hill on the right. The sky was a realy warm color.
I used the brush to soften some of the edges and to have a little thinner paint at the top of the hill so that it helped to give more depth to the scene. I had probably five people drive by choking me in the dust. They would slow down and say a few words (kind ones), but even slowing the dust was pretty thick.
I'm not sure that I will get out tomorrow. I want to head down to the Superstitions in the next few days. I still have some openings in my workshops in Pasadena, CA and the Superstitions, AZ. I just added a three day workshop for Casa Grande, AZ. If you are interested in any of the workshops, email me or go to my website at http://beckyjoy.com/workshops
Talk to you all later.
