8" x 10" oil on board
$70 plus shipping
I registered for a "plein air workshop" this Saturday at Art Frame Solutions, which backs up to Reston National Golf Course, the location for this painting. I think this is the twelfth hole. Turns out, I was the only one registered, or maybe I was the only one stupid enough to stand outside in the freezing weather to paint. It was chilly to say the least. There weren't a lot of options for subjects, and there were a few people who apparantly like playing golf as much as I like painting, so I chose these two bushes. They were the most interesting subjects and this was the location least likely to lead to death by golf ball. It was so cold that my paint literally froze. It was like wiping play dough on the board, and I forgot to bring any linseed oil or medium that might have loosened it up. Still, I like the way it turned out. I tend to overwork my paintings, and maybe because it was so cold, I spent as little time working it as possible. The photo makes the color temperature appear a little warmer than it appears in person.
