Day 14 #stradaeasel
My day 14 painting is
“1208. Mountains from Ramal Rd. ”
Oil painting on 6” X 12” Gessoed panel
By Mariko Irie
Today I went back to one of our cycling routes, Ramal Rd.
It’s very nice view with tall trees’ shade. After the sun moved south, still I was in shade the whole time I was painting.
Today I needed to be in the sun.
Air was cold and windy. I was cold.
Luckily I had a puffy winter jacket in my car and wore it.
Painting went so well. I love this painting.
Before I completed the painting, the wind got so strong that it pushed me constantly. My brush strokes couldn’t go where I wanted. I almost finished the painting when I quit, and completed it at my studio.
Despite sometimes challenging weather, I love Plein Air Painting now more than ever before.
