Rainy Day at Bartollota's Corner
Oil

It was a very rainy Saturday, so I painted this view of the corner of State and Harwood from the inside ORO looking through double glass, a window and my glasses. Am I painting the Plein Air if I look through double or single glass?

Sunrise
Acrylic

This painting was actually one of many paintings painted in Oconomowoc during the 2009 Plein Air season.

I actually had my studio paintings on display at ORO di Oliva, many of which you can see on my website with my video clip on my home page and on my studio gallery page

I chose not to work on my pastel painting in the special store, becasue pastels can be messy and dusty.

Plein Air Frigid Weather Painting - Saturday in January

Well I like this little 10" x 10" plein air painting I made this past Saturday in downtown Oconomowoc during their Chillifest and while the other artists were outside scultpting their ice scultptors. Here I was across from the Griffin Gallery (Blue Building) in a warm unused storefront alcove nice and cosy.

Wish you could have been there painting too.

You can buy this painting from me for $250. Just press the paypal button and you will be on your way.

Award Winning Plein Air Painting of Classic Milwaukee Eastside Corner, " Looking East on Belleview"

Looking East on Belleview

Looking East on Belleview

is a classic. Sun dappled walks that lead to Lake Park on an late spring early afternoon welcome the friend of Milwaukee's fine neighborhoods. These city sidewalks invite them on a refreshing meander lost in the peace and pleasure in meeting others on their stroll. Everywhere a feast for the eyes in a return to the best of city living.

This award winning Plein Air Painting by Judith Reidy of the city's Eastside was sold at the Downer Avenue Plein Air event in May 2008. The Plein Air event was sponsored by the League of Milwaukee Artists, The Wisconsin Painters and Sculptors and the Downer Avenue Merchants. 30% of the proceeds went to Artist Working in Education. AWE is a nonprofit organization that sponsors artists to work creatively with children to enhance human potential, advance learning and cultivate community. Judith and the other artists find it rewarding to be able to contribute to the AWE effort.

Hackett Looking North, Plein Air painting of Milwaukee's Eastside

Hackett Looking North

This Plein Air painting created during the last week of May 2008, during the Downer Avenue Plein Air Painting Competition is a companion piece to the work "Looking East on Belleview".

This cityscape painting, "Hackett Looking North" shows the classic Milwaukee Eastside neighborhood lined with lush canopy of trees covering walks edged by gardened lawns. This morning light cityscape captures the cool shadows over the path which can lead to shops or the expansive Lake Park within minutes.

This painting was sold at the silent auction of the Plein Air event. 30% of the sale, the artist Judith donated to Artist Working in Education, a nonprofit organization that sponsors artists to work creatively with children to enhance human potential, advance learning and cultivate community.
