Winter Plein Air Painting by Colorado Contemporary Artist Laura Reilly
I've been longing to get outside for a little plein air painting,
and yesterday was too nice a day to pass up!
Up on Mesa Rd., there's a tiny little piece of Open Space,
a beautiful, dry wild landscape.
with gorgeous views of the Peak.
Even though it was only 35 degrees out, I was in the sun and layered up -
long underwear, painting shirt, fleece vest, fleece jacket - so I was toasty!
It's been a long time since I painted with gloves on though.
The thin magic gloves work well.

I still haven't mastered the selfie, but I'm working on it !

Colorado Artist Laura Reilly Plein Air Lilac Painting "Victorian Lilacs"
"Victorian Lilacs"
This is a plein air painting, created on location in Acacia Park, here in Colorado Springs. The lilacs this year are maddeningly beautiful, with their lush perfume scenting the warm spring air. They are maddening because they are all blooming at once, and I just can't paint them all!
I love the Victorian style lamppost peeking out behind the lilacs, and the delicate colors of the blossoms in the sunlight and shade.
A traditional impressionist technique best described the delicate blossoms and the pearly spring sky.
Original acrylic on canvas, 8" x 8" with a delicate gold frame to complete the painting.
