Alderton Road Sunset...8"x 10" oil primed linen World Wide Paint Out IPAP

Spent this morning in reflection and of humbled sorrow filled heart, honoring the memory of so many lost in New York, on this morning...the 11th of September.  Watching the television, reflecting on my own memory of that day.  My heart and prayers to my own family and friends in New York...and to the larger extended family and community.  Let us never forget...

Then...played guitar for a wedding this afternoon...and ran home to change clothes and grab my gear.  Today being the World Wide Paint Out weekend for IPAP  (International Plein Air Painters)...of which I am a signature member.  This was my contribution-



















and here a reference photo...though quite colorless and void of values variation because of the intense blast of light.  Cameras do not fare well shooting directly into the sun.  Well, eyes don't suffer it very well either!!  hahaa..

Which linen did you use ? Like I mentioned in WI, the Sensei held up to the dampness, my Belgian did not...

Hi Jacq...
for this one I had some oil primed Centurion...a panel. The oil primed surface is one I haven't played with all that much..but certainly holds up to damp conditions I think.

What was surprising to me was how quickly the paint tacked up on its surface. I thought oil priming would cause it to be slicker than all get out, but was actually quite nice...
