Back in the Atmosphere!
February 21, 2015
I’m back in the atmosphere…of Plein Air painting that is. It did take a push and a shove but I am getting there. So I am learning to make the most of my time to enjoy what I love most. Painting and visiting new places…so en Plein Air it is!
Today, we were graced with awesome weather and even a spot of sun now & then. So I ventured out to the stomping grounds of older Austin – Hyde Park. Oh, but what will I paint? There was so much to choose from, I finally just started painting where I was standing.
Quacks Corner Table – Hyde Park, Austin
The trick is to find an agreeable spot, off the sidewalk jet not obscuring the painting view. The limited sunlight did prove challenging in mixing accurate colors. But I mustered my brushed and pushed paint.
The neighborhood is so active and hospitable! I was so busy painting, I did not have time to take in all the yummy smells from the well-known restaurants. There is so much more to capture. Yes, I shall go back.
For now, I hope you enjoy my posts and stay tuned for future painting ventures.
