A Marsh....
East Bay Marsh(oil, 8x10 $100)
Just a quick plein air painting, done in Rhode Island, VERY quickly as it was COLD, of a marsh-nature area-over in Warren, RI, near the home of Nick Jainschigg-who's painted this very place himself. It's not uncommon for painters to do "their" takes on the same places. It's not like we own them. Did this in about half an hour, just wanted to see how few brush strokes I could do it with. The temptation for "detail" can be amazing, as breaking the ol' illustrator habits can be jarring doing this kind of painting. But I keep trying.

Did you do this yesterday?? Did you wear gloves??
No, a few days ago when the weather was warmer, slightly. I didn't last long. I know guys who stand out in the SNOW in mountain ranges to paint. Oil doesn't freeze. I wouldn't go that far.
Reminds me of the marshy part

Nice to see that something like it really exists.
