Houses and sheds
Posted: March 13, 2023 Filed under: Uncategorized 13 CommentsI forgot to post this winter scene from a few weeks ago. It’s interesting to see this studio painting (with all its hard edges) compared to Saturday’s plein air paintings from the woods, which are all soft edges. This was a scene I saw while I was walking Alice in Angell Woods on a cold, sunny morning. I always enjoy the overlapping shapes of houses and sheds on this part of the walk, and sometimes stop to take photos. I painted this when I got home and the cold winter colours were fresh in my mind. I especially like the little yellow shed on the left with the big window because I can see silhouettes of pots and garden tools in there. It would be interesting to take my easel to this spot and paint the same scene on location, without Alice of course. I suspect it would be a very different painting.
All my favorite primaries and SUPER fresh!
Ashley, thanks!!
You’re the best! Painting, enjoying your craft all the time.
Donna, I am painting all the time. Not always enjoying the result, I guess, but that’s normal!!
Love this painting with all the bright colors in the middle of winter.
Thanks so much Jeanne!
Les contours sont beaux , l´harmonie des couleurs magnifique et le reflet de la lumière sur la neige éblouissant. Merci pour ce voyage sous la neige.
Je me demande si vous avez déjà fait une exposition pour votre voisinage? Vos voisins seraient émerveillés comme nous. J´espère que certains d´entre eux sont abonnés à votre blog.
Merci Thierry! Je n’ai pas eu d’exposition de mon travail depuis longtemps. J’appartenais à un groupe artistique local. Nous exposions deux fois par an. Mais maintenant que je voyage souvent pour enseigner, je ne peux plus participer. La plupart de mes tableaux sont dans mon classeur !
You paint the best shadows.
Thanks Laura Kate. I’m sure by now you know that I love painting on sunny days.
Oh gosh, I love this Shari!
So beautiful!
And the colors are yummy!
Lori, thanks!!
Lovely. I always enjoy seeing your subtle winter “primaries.”
