Plein Air Thursday: Making Art that Sings

Priscilla captured her Night Blooming Cyrus using acrylics.
The background is as important as the flower and the black
sets off the flowers. Beautiful, Priscilla!

Today's art is uplifting and thought provoking. Even though there was only a few of us attending,
we came away with some great pieces.

Charlene is finishing her pastoral painting and it is looking great. She has
just a few finishing touches to the cow and it will be complete. Fabulous, Charlene!

Michelle painted this rock formation using pastels. The
soft colors of the background are in contrast to the colorful
rock formation. Very exciting, Michelle.

Carol sketched this seagull upside down. She captioned this
gull on the rocks with great values. Can't wait to see the
painting of this sketch.

Carol painted this floral using acrylics. The light and shadows
are really beautiful. Great job Carol!

Carol painted this fern using oils. The colors are just
wonderful and the contrast in light and darks are
exceptional. Fabulous Carol!

Rita boosted the color and values in this painting that
she had done previously. She used pastels to
achieve the beautiful contrast. Wonderful Rita!

This pastel painting was painted by Rita. She added more
color and value to make a more pleasing painting.
Beautiful, Rita!

Linda hand painted this little silk cat. Her colorful
designs turned this uninteresting cat to a
cat with Pizazz! Great Job, Linda.

Rita added some color to this pastel painting to create
depth of value. The painting is now an interesting piece
and a keeper! Beautiful, Rita

Rita painted this piece using pastels and today
she added more color and darks to create depth.
This is now interesting and colorful...Fabulous, Rita!
