Weymouth Furnace: Plein Air
These old stone arches were brilliantly back lit in the late afternoon. What a site...I'll be going back again. The picture is kind of reflecty, taken on location. 9x12
This is a lovely composition, and I love your subtle handling of value and color. I am delighted to have found your fascinating blog via your comment on Linda Blondheim's. I hope you will be able to continue focusing on your painting and make a career of it--a difficult undertaking anytime, but harder still in this economy. Thanks for sharing your creative journey.
Thank you for the kind words Mary. And thank you too Greg. We have a few site of these old ruins of glass and iron factories here in South Jersey...they're pretty neat. I've avoided them for a while... now I can't get enough, just started a larger studio version of Weymouth Furnace.
I've painted on the side all my life. In 2005 I started painting full time. Starting with the trompe L'oeil series "Scatter Paintings" and small "Daily" paintings. In 2007 I made an about turn to plein air work and Landscape painting...a subject and style that still keeps me captivated 12 years later. This internet diary keeps track of my progress. Unless noted, all the paintings posted on this blog are for Sale. You can contact me at CLAW4JC@aol.com for pricing and billing information.
