Perfect Weekend
Spent the weekend up in cottage country. Great company, textbook autumn weather, and plein air painting. What more could I ask for? Here's some of the paintings I did there.The bottom left one is my first sunset plein air painting. I was literally racing against the sun. After about 15 minutes, I could no longer judge differences in colour temperature on my board, so I stopped. It was a big surprise to get back to the cottage to see what the painting actually looked like. Nothing beats painting outdoors!
And one from two weekends ago. Some architecture near where I work.

Good ol' cottage country! These are great my friend!!
I really like how you let bits of the canvas show through in your plein air pieces--it adds a certain...je ne sais quoi to the piece (sometimes I feel classier using a language I don't really know).
You work in such a lovely town! I wish the area I'm in had a few buildings with classical architecture.
good work marco,
fall is great for paintings lots of color,
your paintings are very appealing keep it up,

Beautiful colors. The play of the shadows and lights is aureate.
Btw. you have such nice architecture in the US? (think i must alter my impression of the states)
Hey, thanks guys.
Abby, I should admit that the architecture I painted exists in an otherwise uninspiring neighborhood. Toronto doesn't really look like that.
Jorn - I'm actually Canadian :)
I've seen some beautiful US cities though.
wow lovely!!
Thanks man, I totally forgot about bg's with you. I've gotten a little further and a few more that are in the works. I'll come by and show you soon!
Beeeautiful! I can sit here at work, stare at your paintings and imagine I'm there *wistful sigh*
Amazing works! Excellent block you have :)
Love these !- I especially like the thick layered feeling you give to your brush strokes .
Very nice indeed .
