Sandy Acres, 8x10" oil, plein air, Diane Mannion
Sandy Acres Ranch
Peace River Painters were invited to paint at the home and studio of
artist Laszio Kohanec this morning. Over four hundred acres of fields,
ponds, and animals. What a treat!
Left my quick study of Eileen painting as it was fresh from the field. Could have fussed and fiddled from photo reference later, but like it as is. Sun was in and out of the clouds, difficult, constantly changing painting conditions. Saw sun patterns in foreground and locked them in.
I compressed and simplified a lot, as the location photo shows.
Cameras never capture the color!
And YES... there were gators in that pond!
Donkeys brayed like watchdogs when cars pulled in.
