On the Banks of the Medina, by Melissa A. Torres, 9x12 oil on linen

I am so glad I was able to paint the Medina. I think this was back sometime in November. The first time I have painted in Plein Air on my own. I was fortunate enough to be part of a Plein Air workshop with artist Shanna Kunz  with Edisto Art Retreats on Edisto Island, SC in May. It was a few days of painting with great people. I hope to do something like that again.

Country Road Take Me Home by Pamela Blaies

Country Road Take Me Home

7" x 5"

oil on linen

My mom was running late when I arrived in Georgetown last week and forgot to leave me a key. While waiting, I took a little time to walk down this gravel road out to my mom's farm as the sun was going down. It was so quiet and peaceful. I was awestruck at how blue the road looked at that time of day. I didn't have my paints with me, so I took some photos and intensely studied the colors I saw to commit the scene to memory. I worked loosely to get the fresh feeling of a plein air piece.
