New Plein Air: Cherry Hill Fountain

Cherry Hill Fountain, 2012, oil on linen, 9 x 12 inches

I went out to Central Park on Friday, it was unplanned and I think it worked out for the best. It was a hot humid day, but I didn't mind, it seemed like it was the right day and time to be there. In this painting I revisited a subject I attempted to paint on my second plein air ever back in 2009. Back then I was happy with it, but as the years go by I dislike it more and more. This is the first take of San Remo of 2009, compared to the painting I did this weekend I say there have been some major changes happening! In the next few weeks temperatures will start to cool making it more pleasant to paint outdoors.
