Daily Painting 1243 Day at the Ranch, plein air alla prima
I did this today at Adam's ranch, beautiful out, saw lots of cows, 4 alligators and all kinds of fish. Saw an otter and some wild hogs too. The painting is oil, 8 x 10 inches, $300.
I know you're safe with the cows and fish, but what about the alligators and wild hogs?? I guess the otter poses no threat. Painting en plein air is NOT FOR SISSIES ... And I love the painting!
Plein air painters are inspired by nature. Capturing the everchanging light is our passion - and our challenge.
Each of these paintings is a one-of-a-kind original painted on site.

Thanks Much
BJ! I look out for the gators, the little ones run away from you and so do the hogs. I was in the car when I saw the pigs.
Nice one Lori
