Day 27 #stradaeasel

My day 27 painting is 

“1222. Precious Light”

Oil painting on 6” X 12” Gessoed panel

By Mariko Irie

This location is Napa-Sonoma Marshes, CA.

Yesterday I painted “1221. Barn at Napa-Sonoma Marshes” there.

During painting, I found the traffic noise is much quieter, just crossed the railroad track and got lower than Ramal Rd.

When I got there, there were dark clouds and nice warm light peeking between the clouds and far away mountains.

I knew it would be sunny soon, so that kind of light wouldn’t last long.

Soon white clouds appeared here and there, and the warm light was fading but still there.

When I wrapped up, the sky was blue.

It was a nice challenge😊❤️.

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.

Today it’s a cool day.

I decided to go a little far, on Ramal Rd.

This is one of our cycling route.

It’s very popular for cyclers.

Along this road there are nice sceneries.

Probably I come back to paint more on this road.
