Plein Air Oil Painting

Paul & I went back to Trentham East this morning. He picked up this spot on Chanters Lane. 

We had a lovely chat with its owner. A charming house. 

It was very fun painting this although very chilly. I always enjoy his company.

I think this composition is a bit awkward. I should have stepped back a bit. 

He did a great painting. The owner actually bought it!

I spent 2.5 hours. 

Oil on canvas. 14x18 in. 

After quick lunch, we decided to do some study. First, cows! I’ve never done it before. Because they kept moving, it was very difficult. 

I spent 30 minuets. 

Oil on panel. 6x8 in. 

Then, sunset. Again, this is my first serious study. It was just beautiful. I’m actually happy with this one. 

I spent 30 minuets. 

Oil on panel. 6x10 in. 

It was a great way of finishing up the day. I loved it.
