Mood Experiment Time...

Now that I have these three plein airs from
upper Michigan completed over this past
weekend...I thought it would be interesting
to play around with them. Gesturals...and
possible different moods...


5"x 7" oil

Hello Larry -- I've been enjoying your plein air landscapes, they are so, well, airy. I actually prefer them to your in-studio landscapes (just my preference, no disrespect). I just feel the lightness of the air through the trees in the plein air paintings, so fresh, and impromptu. You make them look effortless, tho' I'm sure they are not. Beautiful color palettes, as well. Thanks for sharing them.

thanks much...
never wrong to hear of preferences in a world where diversity is encouraged and applauded. Vive la difference!

I like painting outdoors...capturing the personality of the aire, and it is so hard to replicate that indoors. Being able to do so instudio is a true skill. Someday perhaps.. :)

take care

Larry this one has such a great atmosphere. I really enjoy it.

thanks much...good to hear feedback on experiments especially. I have long been more a realist to a thing's appearance but perhaps to a fault of missing some of what the experience and encounter of a moment also "feels" like.

Trying to see and find if there is a balance to arrive at, or just different paintings with no best or better on this one point of distinction...

...call it a time of "wrestlings..." 8^)
