Plein Air Landscapes

I opened a new image gallery showing plein air landscapes . I've heard from many artists that painting outside, PLEIN AIR, is the greatest improver of ones art. I believe this is so true, so I have determined to paint 100 11x14 paintings by the end of the year. This is an experiment to cull out clutter and simply my paintings. I will continue to post as I create each new painting. It will be interesting to see what I learn. To be continued..... On this first painting I had to pay attention to the different values of green. I grayed most of them as they were too garish otherwise, I have painted in oils for many years and just recently switched to acrylics. I am learning how to tone down the brighter colors.
