painting monday april 5 2010 michaelis ranch sheds 8x10 oil on stretched cotton canvas 75 email me if interested another plein aire outing with the austin group the michaelis ranch in kyle texas is on the u s department of the interior s list of national register of historic places there were so many wonderful painting ops being new at this plein aire thing i think my biggest obstacle is composition i am so used to painting from photos that i can crop to set my own boundaries when painting on location i see all around as on this painting i feel as if the shed in the foreground is too dominate on one side which to me throws of the balance of my composition on a positive note i do feel as though plein aire painting is going to help me paint only the important details i have alot to learn but i am enjoying every minute of it posted by kim shields at 7 13 pm no comments labels artist daily painter michaelis ranch oil painting plein aire tuesday march 23 2010 alley no 1 18x24 oil
