Plein Air painting trip


Well, the fall is calling once again.  I am heading out for a three day plein air trip to the eastern side of Missouri along the river by Augusta, Mo.  It is beautiful country there and having already been there for the spring season couldn't resist the fall.  I have been working on a small 4"x6" and 5"x7" in the field which is working well.  This format allows me to get the values and colors down much better than a photo.  Then when I look at the photo and compare I get a much more accurate reading for the larger paintings I do from the studies.  There still are times that I paint in a larger format in the field if time and weather permit but the smaller studies are a wonderful way to capture the light.  You can see some of these small paintings in the "just for fun" collection.  I will be also selling these at the Longview Art and World Music Festival in New Longview, Lee's Summit, Mo. October 3rd, 4th and 5th.  Come on out and have a good time and see great art and hear great music.  There will also be a variety of foods to chose from.
See you there,
Jennylynne
