A Little Fall - Debbie Miller, plein air painting

Autumn woods 3 - plein air painting by Debbie Miller

6x6 oil

Autumn Woods 2 - daily painting plein air landscape

6x6" oil - every year during this week I HAVE to go outside and paint - and it has to be trees - Ive got a thing for dark trunks against the orange leaves.
Also has to be loose and painterly, I want to capture the feeling of being in the woods this time of year not every branch,leaf or twig

Autumn Woods - plein air painting by Debbie Miller

6x6 oil - a plein air from last year - havent gotten out yet this fall and the leaves will soon be gone! This is a favorite from last year - shows signs of the desire to go more abstract and loose

Apple Lessons - daily painting,still life

6x6" oil
Here is my apple painting from the workshop - working on edges,putting the paint down and leaving it alone among other things

commission

12x12 oil. commission.
yes a commission but this might as well be in the 'My October' series. the image really spoke to me and it was sooooo fun to paint - tapping into that inner child for sure with this one as it reminds me of the many nature walks we went on as kids, playing "Roots, rocks and rattlesnakes". Popped it into a gold plein air frame which really compliments it....hope they like it as much as I do!

The Journey - My October - 6,plein air,landscape

10"x20" oil on canvas. $400
They say its all about the journey..... couldnt agree more. this little challenge for myself - painting outside everyday from life - is teaching me so much...for one thing I REALLY like painting outside...2.- french easel is better than pochade box...unless painting in the car!...3.-Squinting IS reeaally important.... 4.- edges are key...need to pay more attention...5.-I am soooo lucky to get to do this today....and so on,and so on....

Autumn Woods- My October 5 -plein air,landscape

6x6" oil on masonite. I love the woods in October - the darks trunks against all that color - gorgeous.
every now and then I like to set a time limit for a painting - to keep things loose - its what i did here. 25 min. then on to the next. I'm happy with it.

One Tree Hill - My October 4 - plein air,landscape

6x6" oil on masonite. One Tree Hill. and one blurry photo - I'll swap it out tomorrow when I can get a better shot....

A Gathering - my October 3 - plein air

6x6" oil on masonite. Ever since starting this little project its been cold and rainy! must admit, wimping out and stayed IN the car to paint this morning - just let the dog out to run around....which he didnt! he just sat there waiting for me to get out.
This yucky weather is ruining everyones weekend plans here in NE but it makes for great saturated color - I did 3 today and could have painted all day...I like this challenge.
happy weekend !!

October days like this are just the best....decided that painting outside everyday till Oct 31 would be a good way to honor my favorite time of year. ....stay tuned for a little taste of "My October"

Last Look - plein air, daily painting

6x6 oil on gessobord
Ran by this tree today. Something about it made me go home and get my paints. Maybe it was those last few leaves hanging on, the blue/orange -my favorite combo, or the 'personality' of the tree...whatever it was, glad I went back.

Autumn's Gift

6x6" oil on hardboard panel
Autumn's Gift to New Englanders - the fall color! Have a nice long weekend of leaf peeping!

'Leaves" :daily painting,plein air,autumn

6x6" oil on masonite SOLD
I cant think of a good title. I asked my husband (who is tired of this question) and he said "Leaf Me Alone" :-)
I still dont have MY computer so I have to admit that I color corrected this with 'auto correct'. needless to say its NOT correct color. The sky is a much prettier blue and the leaves are more yellow. Its the best I can do for now.
These tree tops were my muse last winter. Today they drew me in again, the yellow against the sky was just too yummy and because of the storm expected tomorrow, they'll be gone soon.
