High Noon in Palmetto

High Noon in Palmetto
8x10 oil on canvas board

Was headed down to my studio this morning, but got distracted by the beautiful blue sky and had to pull over...

You can see why, right??

Plein AirStream

11x14 oil on linen panel

So I've been itch'n to paint an Airstream trailer for a while now and finally got my chance this morning! The Linger Lodge Campground, along the banks of the Braden River, is a quirky little trailer park just chock full of great subject matter, including trailer homes, kayaks, lily pads and tons of wildlife. I noticed this bright blue awninged Airstream the moment I got out of my car and didn't have to venture far for some challenging reflections, interesting shapes, and a distinct sense of nostalgic Americana! I especially got a kick out of the ratty old upholstered chair outside on the "porch." ;)
