Plein Air Series Paintings

"Plein air" paintings are those done on site, in the "open air." The plein air painting process is entirely different from painting based on vintage photographs, but the two are complementary. Although I want the latter to retain the flavor and atmosphere of the vintage photos, I could not import and imagine colors without the experience of having painted from life.

Plein air paintings are usually smaller. (It is difficult to finish a large painting on site, given the time constraints created by changing light conditions, etc.)

The paintings shown may be purchased from the artist directly using the Buy Now button unless marked Sold. The medium for all is oil on panel. Prices range from $195 to $875. Each work sports either a black or natural wood shadowbox frame. Those asterisked may be purchased by contacting The Red Door Inn in St. Helena, CA.
