Taylor Creek Too, Plein Air Painting by Fawn

This is the second in this series. I hope to go back and do a few more. I scouted out some more nice places to set up next time.

The lock is just off to the left. This is where Taylor Creek ends and joins the levee. Click on the image to see the birds hiding in the painting.

Taylor Creek, Plein Air Painting by Fawn

"Taylor Creek"

Ready to frame

Went out late this morning, and it was so hot for November! 85 degrees. But the wind was blowing and the sun light made everything easier to paint. I found a cypress tree to set up under and got two paintings done. Beautiful day.

I am working with some new colors. I also tried to make a plan and really slow down. So much more enjoyable. Things go much smoother if I don't change my mind half way through the painting!

Drifting, shoreline driftwood, Daily Painting by Fawn

"Drifting"

I love driftwood. It reminds me of my grandmother who collected it for her flower gardens. I painted this from some photos I took last year. I like the movement.

The mat board adds a nice texture to the water, so I used that to exaggerate the broken light on the water.

I tried to keep it loose and impressionistic, which is difficult for me.  Usually, I end up overworking a painting and adding too much detail. 

Thanks for looking!

"Paynes Prarie 2"

Not Available

This is based on the value studies from yesterday.  I tried to limit my values, which I don't think I managed so well, because I really like lots of contrast. I made the focal point in the distance, and tried to soften the foreground. It took a couple of tries, but I like the effect. No critters this time, just wanted to practice some of the new ideas in my head.

Paynes Prarie, Value Study, Plein Air, Alla Prima

Paynes Prairie Study

4.5 x 6 inches

Acrylic

Not Available

These are value studies I did at the workshop Saturday. We did about ten different exercises, not including warm ups. The goal here was to use limited values. The dark values could not be black or even dark gray, and the lights could not get very white. The color study had to follow the same values, only using color. I really liked this exercise, as it forced me to think through the whole process and not just slap it on in a hurry.

I plan to paint a larger painting of the color study and see if I can keep the subtle changes in value.

Paynes Prairie, Plein Air Painting

(ready to frame)

Went up to Micanopy today, just south of Gainesville. Had a workshop with Linda Blondheim. She is an excellent instructor. It was windy, cold, and absolutely beautiful. Don't think I even came close to the feast of colors my eyes enjoyed today. It was a fantastic day!

Cypress with Crotons, Plein Air Painting by Fawn

"Cypress with Crotons"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

First time out in a long while. I started with just the crotons, at least that was the original idea, but the roots of this old cypress tree were just too interesting to pass up. They soon became the focus of the composition!

Have a plein air work shop tomorrow in Gainesville. Can't wait!
