Carthage, North Carolina Workshop

I was teaching a workshop with Oak Hollow Studios in Carthage, North Carolina this week. The class went well, and the weather cooperated, thankfully. Spring workshops can always be a bit risky.

Here are a few of the paintings I did during my free time:

It was very, very green. March and April are months I often skip working outside as the bright greens of Spring can be a bit much. Small vignettes can work well though. And sometimes it’s just fun to really hit those acid greens.

Plein air painting of chickens.

Carmen’s Chickens #1. 8 x 12 in., oil on linen.
