I enjoy trying different things with my painting. I have not painted since April due to the summer heat. Now that cooler weather is here, I thought I would try a plein air painting. Plien air is a French term that simply means outdoors. I decided to paint the flowers blooming in the wooded area just beyond my back yard. By the time I finished the flowers had disappeared.

Wow, in the second picture the painting effortlessly looks like a continuation of the trees in the background! Wonderful to see you at work and how delightfully it’s all turned out! Such a stunning piece! I always admire artists at work. They create magic with just a canvas, paint and brush 🎨

It sounds very sophisticated, but in reality is very ordinary! It was good to get back to it again.

This lovely painting transported me to a time and place several years back when I lived in a Connecticut home with a similar setting. A lovely Pheasant visited often of which I wrote. I squinted when I first looked at your painting in the hopes it contained my pheasant🌝

How nice! Sadly we have no pheasants around here. I do remember them in PA growing up. They are beautiful. I appreciate your kind comments. I am glad my painting took you back there again.
