Plein Air


Pond_down_the_road.jpg

Plein Air is French for "fullness, plentyful" so it can mean the whole of nature. Plein air was adopted and expanded by the impressionist in Europe and the US and is a demanding method of painting. The out doors is not controlled like a studio. Light changes, shadows move, clouds change shape, tree leaves russle. It can be hot or cold or windy. Dogs and people are attached to an easel for different reasons as are insects. Its is a lot of fun and well worth the effort.

The studio album means paintings and works done in the studio and not out doors or plein air. The studio can be anywhere and not just my own private studio.

The_Grove_of_Blossoms_small.JPG
The Grove of Blossoms105 viewsA 9 x 12 inch oil on canvas. This painting was done with a palette knife during the April OPAS paintout in 2009 in Athens, Ohio. It was a pretty chilly day but the blossoms were there and had to be painted.
Fullbrooks_Cafe.JPG
Fullbrooks Cafe, Nelsonville137 viewsA 10 x 10 oil on canvas of a beautiful oak in late October. I took liberties with the tree. I gave it a slight bend to make it a little more interesting, move the iron tables around and left out a very poor lamp post. One month after this was done the tree was cut down!!

Hanging_Free.jpg
Hanging Free191 viewsAn 9 x 12 inch oil on canvas panel of 3 carnivorous pitcher plant pitcher traps. I tired for a tension in the background like a threatening storm contrasting with the blood red of the pitchers lips.

A Darling Clementine127 viewsA 5 x 7 inch oil on canvas on hard panel (RayMar) of a clementine setting on the edge of a table. I was trying for the trompe l'oeil effect and I think I got it.
