Got out for a little plein air action this morning. Painted this on the campus of Ashland University. This is Miller Hall and it was used back in my days at AC but it is just used for storage these days. I wonder how long it will even be standing.

Kingwood Fountain - 12" x 9" oil on canvas panel

This was painted this past Saturday as part of a scheduled paintout with OPAS. There was a good bunch of artists there on a day where the sun came out and it was nice but got a little windy. I tried starting this painting on a dark background. It was kind of like pulling light out of the darkness. You had to go pretty thick with the paint right away. I had to leave early to go to my son’s baseball game but I wish I could have stayed to see what other fellow artists had created. Hopefully they will get something up on their web site soon. I am thoroughly looking forward to the next gathering. I enjoy getting out on my own too but there is something special about the camaraderie and feedback from fellow artists. See you next time.
