LAKE REFLECTIONS, 7x5 INCH PLEIN AIR STYLE ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN

CLICK HERE FOR THIS PAINTING:

The common, ordinary everyday things often make wonderful subjects for paintings. I think we often overlook the simple things in life. If we only take the time to look, beauty is all around us. That was the case here. It has a soft, restful feeling. And a sense of the ordinary things we take for granted, which can actually be extra-ordinary when viewed in the right context. I was quite pleased with this one and hope you enjoy it too.

FOG, CALIFORNIA IMPRESSIONIST 8x10 PLEIN AIR by TOM BROWN

CLICK HERE FOR THIS PAINTING:

This is another time when I was interested in the muted colors and the softness that the fog created here. I wanted to capture that feeling on this canvas.

There's something about getting out in the fresh air and sunshine with my paint box and capturing the sensations I'm experiencing. The warmth of the sun, the clean fresh air, the sounds of birds; it all seems to become a part of the painting.

LANDSCAPE WITH TREES, 7x5 INCH ORIGINAL PLEIN AIR OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN

I painted this as a demonstration for students in a Plein Air Workshop I taught last weekend. Paintings done on location working directly from nature always seem to carry a bit of extra magic.

There's something about getting out in the fresh air and sunshine with my paint box and capturing the sensations I'm experiencing. The warmth of the sun, the clean fresh air, the sounds of birds; it all seems to become a part of the painting.

I hope you can feel the same sense of joy in this one that I felt when painting it.
