Plein Air Thursday: Arctic Vortex Color

This week our group attendance was small but we did produce some beautiful paintings. The January Arctic Vortex temps ( below zero with high winds) did not deter these few brave souls of the Plein Air Thursday ( now on Tuesday) group.
Here are the results of our creativity.

Gloria's painting of a rock wall is in progress. She painted this using acrylics. Th composition is interesting
as the viewer is drawn in to the window to see beyond. Great job, Gloria.

Hi Gloria!

Nancy painted this unique view of a roof top using acrylics. The lines of the roof make for a very interesting
perspective. The warm and cool colors she used set the painting. The values in this painting draw the viewer up to
the roof top. Wonderful Nancy!

Terrie painted this coastal scene using acrylics. The composition is interesting and draws the viewer from the
two small boats directly to the house. Terrie used glazes to accent the light in this painting. Fabulous, Terrie!

Terrie painted this scene using acrylics the fish house is this warm color drawing the viewer into the painting. The
background rocks and boulders are nicely rendered with cool colors to recede. Beautiful, Terrie!

Terrie painted this Tuscan scene using acrylics. This countryside has lots of rolling hills and Terrie has
painted them in cool colors to recede. This work is in progress. Great job, Terrie!

Sheila painted these cows using watercolor. The beautiful colors did not photograph well but I assure
you they are there. The grasses are amazing with the pinks and greens. This painting is in progress.
Great job, Sheila!

Michelle painted this mid-western barn using pastels. Michelle used this pale yellow
sky to set off the building and it works very well. The barn is an architectural
marvel with its tall structure. Michelle captured the feeling of this barn using color.
Fabulous, Michelle!
