These are some of the small plein air paintings from last week on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts. We stayed with the excellent landscape painter Joseph McGurl and his wife, and he showed us the good spots for landscape painting.

For the last stop of our two month trip to America, I taught a couple of three day plein air workshops in Boston for Leo Mancini-Hresko’s Waltham Studios. Boston is gorgeous. Probably the most beautiful large city in the US. I had been there 25 years ago for a couple of days, but didn’t remember it being so picturesque.
I didn’t have time to paint any cityscapes, unfortunately, but here are the unfinished demonstration pieces from the plein air classes. I painted the same view twice as it worked technically for the points I was making during the demo.

Beautiful, beautiful, paintings! I love your style & the way way you capture the light!
i’m wondering how long these took. case in point, the Side of a Cranberry Bog picture. how long did you spend on it? it has the freshness of a sketch, but i can’t see how any further noodling with it would add anything.
very lovely. hope i can watch you at work sometime.
Most of these are 2 to 3 hour paintings Clem (Side of a Cranberry Bog was probably closer to three).
I really like your work and would like to receive your posts.
Thank you!
