Plein Aire Red Maple - SOLD


Plein Aire, Red Maple
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $40 plus $7 shipping.

Although I'm always drawn to plein aire painting, I also always get a frantic feeling when I'm working outdoors. Same thing happened today, but maybe it's matter of practice. It feels rushed, no matter what I do to slow down.
Behind the neighbors' is a lovely red maple, and with a blue tinged pine tree behind it, and the sunlight hitting it just so, it's gorgeous. I didn't really capture it, but this one has a flavor of it's own anyway. Thanks for looking!
