Here is my very first plein air to Studio

[mnpainter]

This my very frist plein airs back in college a few years ago. This is oil on clunky old gessoed masonite. I did it from the trunk of my girlfriends car :D. It is funny to look at because of the memory of it. :wink2:

Hi Ben,

They both look great. The first one has a very pastely look to it.

I like the action in the forround of the second one and the colors play
together quite nicely. Good work! :clap:

I'm hoping this snow is all gone by the week after Easter so I can do
my first ever Plein Air work.
