Plein-air painting in the park

 

Yesterday afternoon we visited Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings State Park. I was hoping to paint a view of the lake but it was inaccessible, so I wandered around for a bit until a pair of cabbage palms caught my eye.

I took these shots at about 2/3rds of the way through my painting session.

After I got home and had dinner and a cup of coffee, I put on the finishing touches.


I'm satisfied with it. Good first attempt at plein-air painting with oils.

This is beautiful. Nice vibrancy and brushwork.

Thanks, Scott. I am going to start plein air painting again. Everything is easier to do in the States.
