Here is a selection of landscape oil paintings, painted en plein aire, or "in the open air".

About the Images

All the above images are painted in oils and are on canvas. I have to work fast when working outdoors on a painting. Painting en plein aire, you are limited to the light that is available, and sunlight is everchanging. I have often been cleaning my brushes in the dark, as I wanted to get every last bit of light before it is gone. Although I have painted landscapes from photos, capturing the natural lighting over several hours somehow gives a truer description of a setting.
