The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down

Sometimes some outdoor paintings need a bit of tweaking in the studio

It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood. Sometimes some outdoor paintings need a bit of tweaking in the studio, and this one was one of them. I usually do not like to tweak my plein air paintings because it seems to loose its feel of spontaneity. But I was restless, so tweaked I did, and very carefully. I am rather please with it. Now off I go to Race and Cypress Streets to tackle a tree that I have been itching to do since moving to Kennett Square in 2014.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood. It’s a restless day. After returning from painting outside of Chester County Hospital, I did a few more tweaks to the previous painting from early in the morning. I will post it tomorrow, just in case I have a few more tweaks to make. Still restless after tweaking the painting from this morning, I went back outside to paint around the corner on Red Clay Creek.

Kind of around the corner

It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood. Eight miles from my studio, kind of around the corner. While waiting for the hospital to discharge my friend after some routine maintenance, I painted this on the Chester County Hospital property.

Became a bit restless in the waiting room so I went back outside to tweak the design. Just a little bit.
