"Amador Oak"
8"x6" Oil on Canvas Panel

$95.00
What did I say just a few days ago that I would not be painting plein air since I had so much studio painting to do. Things have a way of changing and last Saturday I met the Sacramento Plein Air Painters in Amador City. Amador City is one of my favorite small towns to visit and it is just a few miles from my house so I had to go. The artists met at the Andre Bakery, (no relation to myself) and then we headed out to set up our easels throughout the town. I found a shady spot with a lovely view and went to work. It seemed that most of the painters were watercolorists so my thick palette knife painting was quite different. I paint plein air for the joy of it. The paint is a miracle in the works. Seeing color from life and then mixing paint to reflect the landscape is an amazing task. I do love the challenge very much. It was, "A Painting Day".

Hi Sue, Thanks for the comment. It was a wild day in Amador City as you can tell seeing all of the texture in this painting. It is always fun to get outside and paint. Ruth
Ruth, I wish I could have made this paint out. You got another lovely, strong palette knife painting. Great job! I hope to be able to paint with you soon.
