I went back around the corner today to see if I could finish this one. Right at 4:00 the light hits the buildings just right. Now if only these people would hold still!!

Plein air in VA- Highlands. I have been trying to catch a few local spots in between the rain storms.
Street scenes are a struggle for me, so I'm going to work on them and see if I can make a little progress .
To be clear, I'm not drinking Bourbon - Just painting a colorful Bourbon bar across the street! : )

Returning to Nature 12 x 16 oil on panel
With all the rains, it's a good time to try to capture the force of a fast moving water fall. This is the finished plein air painting from Victory park train. This is the ruins of an old factory. The water has cut a path through it, so I call this one " Returning to Nature" I have to admit, I like the way this one turned out. I have been working on city scenes here of late, and they not my strong point, so it's nice to get back in my comfort zone for a little bit.
Cheers,
Dawn

Painting through all these rainy days in GA, really prepared me for the plein air week in Elizabeth City. We can't pick the weather! Oddly enough I've really started to enjoy tackling these grays.
First day, I decided to tackle the harbor from across the boat yard. "Harbor Hangout" 12x12 oil on panel.
Took a lot of editing, but I'm happy with the results. Someone else appreciated my efforts as well, this one sold the first night of the opening!
When I found this spot, I fell in love with the scene. "Hard Days Work" 12 x 16 oil on panel
I started this one after a day of painting in the rain, and got a pretty good start on it before the sun went down. Came back to finish it in the morning. This one I turned in for the plein air competition and I'm happy to announce, I won a sponsor award for my efforts. A big thank you to Elizabeth City and the plein air event. I look forward to the next one.

A wonderful fall day to get out and paint. I think it was up to 75º, so I packed up my gear and hit the river! This was todays effort at the Old Roswell Mill. ~ Dawn

Fall is a great time to get outdoors to paint. The cooler temps are pleasant and the fall leaves are beautiful. But we have had so much rain
lately, it has really pushed me as an artist to try to capture all that color in low light. I love that there is always a new challenge!
I'll be headed to Coastal Carolina for a week of Plein Air the first week of November. Despite the exciting challenge of painting on gray days, I hope the rain stays away!

"Misty Morning on Lake Clair Meer"
9 x 12 oil on panel, Plein air
This weekend, despite the rain, I taught a really fun plein air workshop. This was an introduction class geared to helping beginners get out there for the first time. We started in the studio, covering how to get started and then hit Piedmont Park to practice. We found a covered spot over looking Lake Clair Meer and got started. We got about 2 hours of painting in before heading back to beat the next round of rain storms. This turned out to be perfect practice for me. I have really been struggling with how to paint color without the help of the sun. Above is today effort. Seeing progress from last weekend, but still room for improvement.
A couple of the painters below, they really had a nice time. Even with the rain, we where covered and the temperature was great.
Our inspiration for the day.
You can see what I mean by a gray day
Until next time, Dawn
