getting back to plein air

Hi all,

Well, I have rested up from my Art Party - it took me about three weeks!
The day after the party, I laid in the recliner all day and didn't move a muscle except to go to the lady's room and get water.

The Art Party was fantastic!
We ate great food, we heard the wonderful band, Mezcla Latina
play fantastic music, we hung out, had a birthday celebration for our Nana, enjoyed each others' company, and had a 
very successful studio sale.

I let everyone know that there will probably not be an Art Party
next year because my plan is to get both of my knees done in 2020.
If that happens, after I heal, I would like to do some traveling 
 (with my husband), and also get out and do some hiking, if possible.

So, good things to look forward to next year.

I finally ventured out to do some plein air painting in Corrales.
I took my steering wheel easel and I'm glad I did, because I used it!
I found this adobe with native sunflowers but it was right next to the main 
road with lots of traffic so I painted inside my car.


I should say it's a little hard to get a good look at your painting when using the steering wheel easel because it's about 12 inches away 
from you and you can't really step back and take a long look at it.

But, I was happy with the way it turned out:

"GLORIOUS YELLOWS"
9x12'


This morning I headed over to my favorite Corrales Winery.
It was a beautiful, cool morning and I pitched
my tripod underneath a nice shade tree.

Here is my sweet little cigar box 
with my chunky paints.
This is what was on my palette today:

titanium white, permanent yellow, cadmium orange, pyrrole red,
permanent red violet light, greyish blue, permanent blue violet, 
yellowish green, sap green, blue violet, Van dyke brown, 
ultramarine blue, and turquoise blue.

If I was using a limited palette, I would bring:
titanium white, permanent yellow, pyrrole red, and ultramarine blue.



Here is my little notebook sketch

Beautiful day, beautiful scene

Wonderful cosmos

Finished painting:
""LAST BLOOM"

I am awaiting on word about a possible painting project,
If it doesn't happen soon, I will choose to
do something else.
I'm starting October 1st, no matter what!
Lots more plein air painting to come.

Oh, and I have a one-day painting workshop coming up on
 Saturday, March 7, 2020.
9:30am-4:30pm
Cost for the day is only $85.
It's going to be informative and FUN!
