Maine Light

8x10" oil on panel                                    click to enlarge

Recently I've been working with white in all kinds of light: learning how to make it read warm and cool; making it more complex with multiple colors.  This weekend I painted Maine Light  at a workshop taught by Tim Horn at the Knowlton Gallery in Lodi.  In "Keeping it Fresh, Tim demonstrated how to use elements of plein air painting when working from photos.  It was great fun.. he's a friendly and patient teacher. And, the icing on the cake....the other 'kids' in the class were a kick. Lovely, funny, supportive.  The learning continues....

What a great painting, Mary. I love the soft sky and water in contrast to the dynamic structures. Glad you had a good workshop with Tim.
