I prefer to paint directly from Nature (
en plein air). But sometimes a photo is
the only way to capture reference that would disappear too quickly. This
painting was created in the studio while working from a photo taken out the car
window.
When working from a photo or
directly from life, I prefer to express my reaction to the subject rather than
simply trying to copy what a camera sees. That’s how I approached this one.
Artists who follow my work online
often tell me they appreciate comparing my interpretation of a subject with
what Nature offers. So I’m showing my reference photo here too.
“A FLEETING MOMENT” is an original
oil painting on a 5x10 inch primed foam core panel. It is temporarily priced at
$100. But that price may change soon, so if you’d like it click
HERE while it’s available.
Thanks for looking. –
