Geranium Hanger

Geranium Hanger___8x10 oil on canvas panel___available at the Gadsden Museum of Art

Here's a plein air painting from my trip to Alabama last week. Geraniums make a nice spot of color ANYWHERE. These were in the front yard of a nice home in the Historic District.

The fun part about painting at the Southeastern Plein Air Festival is that the museum is so well prepared, and they direct artists to great new locations each day....I particularly like the VARIETY of challenges. It's how I teach my workshops: bringing some variety of challenges to help artists grow! See my schedule to know what's coming soon! Next workshop is in June!

Geranium Day_geraniums, red flowers

"Geranium Day"___12 x 12 demo. Oil in linen panel___$ wet and available $ to the first who asks

At the end of a great workshop, yesterday, the light was low and fell perfectly on these geraniums at D.'s place, so I did a quick demo...the bottom image was what I ended the day with: a "nearly finished" 30 - 45 minute demo. The top image is how it looks after about another hour of tweaks. I put little containers under the "floating stems" on the left side...and added some juicy paint for the finish. The light caught me off guard, today...the sun sets an hour earlier...so I photographed the finish in VERY warm sunset light...if you are interested in it, please et me send you a better image :)
