Original art, art classes, plein air, Lake Saint Louis, MO

Well, here we are on Jan 2, already a day behind on the daily painting! Ha..Well, it is what it is. We were traveling yesterday so I think I am doing well to get something done. This was actually painted on Jan. 2, 2015.

This painting was done from a reference photo taken a couple weeks ago when we went up to the Mountains after a snow, specifically, Tehachapi. It was a gorgeous sunny, crisp day. We drove up the mountain, and then got out and walked up the unplowed hill. Oh how I wished I could stand there and paint, but, Hubby was there, so no such luck this trip. I took some awesome photos though. This was a combo of photos. There was a family there with their three dogs. They were quite friendly, and came over to Scott and made friends. I think it is a lovely scene for a painting. This one is acrylic..I seem to be hooked on Acrylic at the moment, dunno why...just am. It goes like that sometimes.

The photo is only so so, as I shot it with my Iphone under the studio lights. The piece is on gessoed panel, 6x6.
