Hazy Afternoon, Tintern Abbey

Following a morning of brilliant sunshine, last Sunday afternoon was a bit disappointing becoming mostly cloudy. I joined a few SEPA members at a paint-out there. I chose this scene because it was mostly in shadow and would look much the same whether the sun came out or not.

It's oil on 12" x 12" MDF Board/

Comment by Ed Cahill on August 9, 2013 at 4:30: Very much like how you control the focus Michael—not as easy as you make it look.

Comment by Michael McGuire on July 18, 2013 at 19:50: Thanks Mary Brigid and Deirdre. Plein air painting can be both frustrating and exhilarating. I was disappointed to find it overcast at Tintern Abbey following a lovely sunny morning down at Slade. So I just nipped in under the trees here thinking that if the sun came back out it wouldn't change that much. I didn't really expect to produce anything memorable, but a lot of people seem to like this.

Comment by Michael McGuire on July 16, 2013 at 21:52: Thanks Maria. I love painting choppy water like this. It calls for a fine balance between looseness and control - all too easy to finish up with a muddy mess!
