March beach, plein air, Debbie Miller

6x6" oil on panel

 Today is my teaching day - so no painting today.  But last week, I got to the beach and did a couple of quick plein air paintings.  It was 38 degrees and a little windy but I managed.  The above painting was my first.  Tomorrow I'll post the second I did - quicker and more simple - but I like it.

 my supervisor and my set up.  Sat in the sand with my box.  My french easel broke plus it was a little too windy.

Winter - daily painting, winter landscape

Looking towards winter..... working on special projects and trying to stay organized - couldnt help taking a break and painting this for my dining room, inspired by the gorgeous sky this morning when I drove my son to school....all grays,blues, and white...

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!

Journey - My October series - 1, plein air,landscape

6x6" sold oil on masonite. painted en plein air.
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"
