You can see how I transformed this still life of with flowers and introduced a glass of wine. I painted this inside rather than out on the 98 degree heat.
Enjoy!

You know this is the painting I did at Cedarburg's Riversedge Competition from the Bird View house. It was a drizzly day that ended in a haze with a steely blue sky.

Now I enjoyed painting my neighbors front yard in the morning light, which cast a shadow on the front of the building. I laid in my design quickly and the shadow pattern and stuck to it. I love the way the tree catches the sunlight.

Now this is the painting I made at Wendie Thompsons this past Sunday while she and I painted off her front porch area. It was a fun project working the fence and barn together with the light.

In doing this scene I had this idea of a dark pathway enveloped by walls and shrubbery leading into light. I did this in preparation for the Paint the Festival submission at the Cedarburg Plein Air Event. It was a great place to paint in the shade with a gentle cooling breeze, away from the hustle and bustle.

Judith Reidy Studio Painting Walking Again in Cedar Park

$325 with frame

This studio completed Plein Air painting was based on a view of Cedar Park in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. I worked on this during the Cedarburg Plein Air Event, while other artists around me were painting other views in the area. I started this painting, then painted the same scene in the Quick Paint which sold in the event. I thought about submitting this fine painting to the main event as well, but in the end decided not to do that since it was too similar to the quick paint painting. But it is available for purchase now like the others were which sold.

This painting, I started and completed this past Saturday morning at the Milwaukee Sketch Club Plein Air Paint Out at Calhoun Park in New Berlin, Wisconsin. It was a beautiful morning to be out painting, while the New Berlin Little League championship games were in full swing. I painted while listening to the crack of the bat to the teams laughter and cheers. I had found a secluded place in the shade looking west with only occasional curious onlookers. It was a terrific morning!
