"Peter's Canyon End of the Trail"
"End of the trail, Peter's Canyon" - 9x12" oil on canvas
3rd place in the OC Fair Plein Air Division
To have a group of people to paint with and to learn a new style of painting, I joined SoCalPapa, a plein air club here in Orange County.
For those who know my tight, detail painting style, you can imagine how difficult it is for me to paint loosely. I have been becoming a bit more impressionistic but two paint outs ago, I hated my painting and wanted to start over. Instead, I took a knife to it. A pallet knife that is. This was the outcome. Not bad for the first time with a knife.
