Hi Carol.. Looks like a great vacation. Plein air is fun and a great way to get outside and breath fresh air (along with gnats and dust). You've done a terrific job with my most difficult challenge... Keeping them simple and straight forward. You really get a sense of place. Will you use these to create studio paintings?
Marian, I really did enjoy the experience and our group has agreed to spend more time outside during the fall/winter months when the weather is more hospitable. I purposely choose very simple scenes as in the past I have become overwhelmed trying to paint an outdoor scene. Next time, I will up the ante.
Sounds like a fun vacation - nothing like combining travel and painting. The marshes are so inspiring and you got some great atmospheric perspective going here. Simple is good!
hi carol, thank you for visiting my blog! i love this. we vacation in the obx, and i struggle with painting the flat landscape...i need so much more height variations. i really love the foreground of this painting, nice expressive brushstrokes!
One final marsh painting from my recent vacation. This is a 9x12 oil on panel.

Carol: This is very nice. I especially like the mid-toned palette choice for this piece. It makes for a sense of tranquility.
Hi Carol,
I love these marsh pieces! They are very atmospheric and soft and have those pure color spots in just the right places.
