More Plein Air painting!.. "Spring House", pastel.

"Spring House", Pastel,

sanded paper, 8 x 10"

Yesterday we got to paint on beautiful old farm somewhere in the middle of nowhere...

I want to tell Thank You to Cecelia Layden for such a wonderful treat. I love it there.

Even I was planning to paint on Wednesday, my husband convinced me to go on Tuesday,

I have another planes, but worked around it..It was great we made it there, because

next day paint out was canceled due to the weather issues.

Work I did there might go down to history as "last painting of Wallis Belgium Mist" I ever did.

This wonderful paper is still out of stock everywhere due to production issues.

Here is some glance of my painting process... enjoy!

Lastly I want to remind that there is still a time to sign for my upcoming Pastel Class

"Pastel landscape inside and Out" designed for both - studio and outdoor painters.

For more information please call to Mechanicsburg Art Center.

"One Day of Glory", Oil Pastel.

"One Day of Glory", 12 x 12",

Oil Pastel, Pastelmat.

Latest Oil pastel floral piece. this time I got to try Pastelmat

for my Oil Pastels... and I LOVE it!

I can do all the dry-brushing I want without shredding my brushes.

But still... this is the sanded surface and it grabs and holds Oil Pastels very well!

Also... I tried about all solvents I have on my shelf with this support,

 and it performed well with everything - water, mineral spirit, alcohol....

I may just have found another favorite support for Oil Pastel paintings.

Maybe... Perhaps I did.
Currently offered at DPW auction (unframed).

Gettysburg 2014, Day 3. "Plum Run".

"At The Plum Run"

8x10" Pastel.

Second day of  Gettysburg Paint Out will be remembered as total Wash Out.

I was going to participate in Quick Draw event, but it was just no way to work

with my pastels at downpour we got there...

So I was hoping to catch up on my painting on Friday...

 ...and this is how lovely our Friday drive was!...

Not much expectations. I was getting ready to paint IN my car,

if it what I have to do this day...

 When we arrived to the park, it was no more rain AND plenty of people.

Even several media guys wandering around,

taking pictures and recording us painting.

 Colors were outstanding out there... I totally enjoyed myself,

but would be even more happy, if it would be just not that hot!..

But we made it works somehow. At list it was no more rain.

 Myself and several more painters worked at Plum Run this afternoon

and everybody did beautiful job. It was hard not to get inspired!

...and then of course some of our friends stopped by too... what was great -
we didn't see each other for a while and Carol's family several of
our schnauzers... But they didn't have any today with them and neither did we...
it was way to hot for the dogs.

 I finished my painting and framing right on place to the frame I had ready for yesterday's

Quick Draw event. On a way home I dropped both my paintings

to the Gettysburg College Alumni House, where they will be a part

of Plein Air exhibition.

Many paintings what are displayed there were painting during this event.

Gettisburg Fest, Day 1.

 First Day at Gettysburg Fest. Weather is questionable, but we made it with

almost no rain.Today I was painting at "Devil's Dan".

My subject was rock formations with the back-drop of green forest.

I like what I ended up with and even had time to frame my work this evening.

Tomorrow - quick draw event. All we asking about:

"Please no rain!" We have significant storms every night, it is enough.

But who can tell anything for sure about the weather?...

Tomorrow is another day and we will see what it brings.
