The day I painted in this meadow was gorgeous: warm and sunny with the air full of the scents of spring and the sounds of birds, bees and frogs. The plein air painting I did wasn’t worth posting but served as a memory guide, along with my photos for this painting. It is painted with Golden Open Acrylics on a RayMarArt canvas/hardboard panel.
I know I’ve been a bit quiet here lately—just a bit of spring fever and choosing to be outdoors and/or painting, not at the computer. (:

Looks good. I like the effects you are getting with the Golden acrylics and I sure do recognize that train station:)

Gorgeous! I love that little tiny piece of water peeking out behind the building…I second Libby–you are using those Golden open acrylics to good effect!

Lovely, Jana. I agree with Carol about the water. It seems to draw my eyes into the picture–it’s a cool and lighted place between the colorful hills in the distance and the colorful growth, nearest to us.

Oh, Jana, this is so lovely. Just beautiful! I really like how you’ve shown that wonderful contrast of the trees against the background. Yum! And the foreground is scrumptious with all that color.
