1637 Cloudy Day at the Beach Plein Air Alla Prima

My painting from today, its oil on canvas mounted on masonite. Its 8 x 10 inches. Very cloudy out, looked like it would rain the whole time we were there. It waited till I got home, then started to rain.

1636 Sea Grapes Aglow Plein Air Alla Prima

I did this yesterday at the jetty park, it is 5 x 7 inches in acrylic on canvas mounted on masonite. Mostly painted with the painting knife. These are the same paints as yesterday's. I liked how they handled on the canvas better than on the plain masonite. But I like oils the best. I loved how the sea grape leaves had the sun shining through them like stained glass windows.

1635 Coconut Palm at the Jetties plein air, alla prima

I did this today at the jetty park, it is 5 x 7 inches in acrylic on masonite. Mostly painted with the painting knife. They are Golden Open acrylics, I got them from the company to try them out. I liked them a lot, very bright colors. These are just the three primary colors and white. These acrylics stay wet longer, in today's conditions regular acrylics would have dried very fast. Normally I paint in oils but this was a fun change.

1634 Plein Air Oil Painting at George E. LeStrange Preserve Lake

I probably should have posted this one before yesterday's painting, I did this one before Thanksgiving, but it wasn't quite finished. I finished it yesterday. Oil on masonite and 8 x 10 inches.
