What a beautiful afternoon—ideal for a plein air painter I think! The acre of property I live on backs into an open field and my neighbour has let us use it for many years. Beside me is a vineyard, and I had very kind neighbours who let me paint in them undisturbed. Now I have new neighbours who are always out working the property with their assortment of machines –as I write this (at night) they are spraying yet again with pesticide(?). Anyway, they were gone for the day so I set up my easel and painted undisturbed for hours and hours—was wonderful! The field where I painted from had been freshly cut so it smelled DIVINE! The only snag was the wind- whoever invented bungie cords deserves a medal.

I love Summer Afternoon, its lines move with the breeze. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteGosh Jan ... I just am in constant amazement ! How do you do it ?!!! ... The only thing that is very apparent (to me) is your joy and jubilation ... a freedom for expression ... when you 'get the time to paint' ... you enjoy every second and that shines unmistakeably through in your work !
ReplyDeleteps ... luv the red & red !
