| "Early Spring" - 6 x 6 inches - oil on canvas |
Sunday was a magnificent day with bright sunshine and unseasonably warm temps. I just had to get outside and take advantage of a perfect day to paint plein air. I headed over to one of my favorite local spots -- the cranberry bog in Carlisle, MA.
I set up my c
anvas on the side of the road and happily painted. I chose this particular scene for a couple reasons. First off, I love those two big evergreen trees that overlook the bog so these are really the focal point of the painting. I also like the thin, horizontal slices of color that I could see in the distance --- the yellows, purples and blues. I actually fabricated the sliver of water in the foreground to add a bit of color and interest. Above is a photo of the actual scene - as you can tell I used a bit of artistic license to punch up the color.
