South from Fort Keys by BJ Wright

10"x8" oil on canvas covered hardboard painted en plein air, alla prima - $85 including shipping -
As we were painting at the Tunnel Hill battlefield on March 22nd, I saw this lovely patch of purple at the meadow's edge. As I painted, the dark colors under the trees on the left kept changing. Even though my initial intent was to feature the purple flowers, I loved working on the darks as well.
Contact me for purchase.

First Plein Air Day Out to Paint


The look on my face explains it all....how happy to be outside painting. I thought winter would last forever. This was the second attempt that day. I stayed after BJ, Tim, and Sherry left to finish it up. We were painting at the Tunnel Hill Civil War Re enactment site and BJ was telling us stories of General's legs that didn't get buried with the body. Come join us!
