For the 'High Summer' show

at the

Cate Charles Gallery

June 22, 2012.

--------------------------------------------------

This piece is much larger than

its original 6" x 24" plein-air counterpart,

(now in a private collection in Africa!)

The pleasures of working 

in plein-air painting are many,

but the top #1 reason is, 

there is nothing like working from Life

and being 'one' with the elements!

   

Also, most plein-air pieces tend

to be small in nature

which makes for easier transport and,

one can work effectively, more quickly. 

With the essence of the moment

residing in a small piece,

the work allows itself to be

brought back to the studio

and used for reference

later on.

I hope the transformation

from small to large

was a success!?

Enjoy! ~ Polly ~
