Georgia Screenhouse

  “Georgia Screenhouse” 8x10”




This is a plein air (on location) painting I did while in Georgia. It is a screened in greenhouse rather than a glassed in one. It is surrounded by blooming Camellia bushes.
This was a break-through painting for me in a number of ways. A lot of what I’ve been studying and reading recently just seemed to come together. Things like:
Hard & soft edges,
Layering,
Simplifying.
Also after painting in the airport, I wasn’t intimidated by painting outside.
