Daily Painting 1023 Heathcote's Triple Sabal Palm Tree, Plein Air Alla Prima
The top picture is my painting I did at Heathcote Botanical Gardens. Below is the sign that is under the tree, I thought it was an interesting story. Then I included a photo of the plant so you can see I didn't make it all up. The painting I did from life is 8 x 10 oil on hardwood plywood. $300.

15 Minute Sunrise # 274
Painted 2/16/2010 from my studio window - too cold and a bit old to sit outside these days. We still had snow with much more on the way. The sun this morning was in it's cadmium orange stage when I first noticed it, a nice change from the normal cadmium yellow I get to see most of the winter. I also see it a bit earlier because its moving from behind the trees. I quickly set up, but missed this particular stage. I thought you might like to see what I did get.

This morning the sky was this wonderful coral and blue, still somewhat dark I made it my warm up study for the day. I used Cobalt Blue in place of my normal French Ultramarine and Holbein's Scarlet Lake for the suns glow

December Snow 2 # 188
10x8 Oil on lined panel - painted from life 12/21/09 started 7:30 AM completed 8:30 AM.
We had a great snow fall here, great because we didn't lose heat or power this time. It also stayed cold with sunny days since it stopped. We still have tons of snow. Great to study the snow and it's colour palette. I added Burnt sienna back in, works especially well with French Ultramarine. I did a number of panels over the last days, mostly of the sun.

A Fabulous Friday in Fall by BJ Wright
8"x10" oil on RayMar panel, painted en plein air, alla prima, on November 13th (completed at 11:20am)...$85 including shipping. In trying several different painting ideas, I had pre-toned some canvas panels using alizarin crimson, cad yellow and ultramarine blue --- brushing the thinned paint on in a somewhat planned but otherwise haphazard way. Letting the toned canvas peek through serves to unite the painting. The pear trees, with their red foliage, contrasted with the evergreens nearby. As noontime approached, shadows were quickly disappearing. Although it appears that black paint was used, it was actually a mixture of ultramarine blue and burnt umber.

what's wrong here??
As Sandra painted the Dalton (GA) depot, this white van parked directly between her and her subject. He smiled, acknowledged us, and pulled into this particular (one of 15) parking space. It was too incredibly funny to be upsetting. What are people thinking???? Tuesday, October 20, 2009

"New Love"
About This Painting:
I have been trying to get out more and work on location. It is alla prima (all at once).
I had set up near my driveway and then found out I was in pile of ants. Not fun! Had to get some ant killer and relocate, but I didn't want to change the view. Got close enough, and it seems to have turned out alright!

On the Double, hibiscus flower
"On the Double"About This Painting:
I painted this doble hibiscus yesterday in the late afternoon out in my yard. It was done alla prima (all at once).
I used watercolor this time, which is not my usual medium. But I hope to start using watercolors more often. I love the watermarks and cool effects you get sometimes, like little surprises!

Meadowlawn Morning by BJ Wright
8"x10" oil on RayMar panel, painted en plein air, alla prima, on September 8th (completed at 10:30am)...$85 including shipping....This was a rather interesting painting being somewhat of an experiment. I had pre-toned the panel using random areas of ultramarine blue, yellow ochre with alizarine crimson designating the focal point which was the stand of trees in the upper left. In the actual painting, my palette consisted of yellow ochre, indian red, prussian blue and white. I may have used a touch of ivory black in the greens. Using a limited palette in the toning process, then using another limited palette in the final painting is something I'll explore further.
