Yesterday fellow painter and blogger Dana Cooper and I met up for a day of plein air at the circle in Orange. This fountain in the circle center just glowed with the morning light. I quickly decided it deserved to be smack dab in the middle of the canvas, dominating the scene. We were oblivious to the cars whizzing in a circle around us, caught up in the perfect weather and the morning light out there painting together. We agreed it was an ideal spot to set up and paint. After a nice lunch we took photos of the area and headed home. I finished it up in my studio last night from memory and photo references. Can't wait to go back!
In other news: Thursday I head off to Meridian, Idaho to visit our son and his family. I'll post again after the 17th when I return. Later!
The movement in the water is simply delicious! I love this!
ReplyDeleteI think the composition works for the subject, and the cooler light blue-whites contrasts well with the warmer browns surrounding it, makes the water seem dazzling!
ReplyDeleteLove your results on this Karen! Thanks for the fun day!!
ReplyDeleteYou captured the mist from the fountain wonderfully. It really caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteThis is an enviable scene to paint and you did a fabulous job on it. I can just imagine how great it was to be there painting. Have fun on your trip.
