Celeste Bergin: I love painting outside and doing my best to find a decent composition. (One of my favorites is this-mud-in-my backyard painting that was painted during the rain). / I recently painted a self-portrait. It came out a little younger than I am, but I liked the effect I got from painting over an old painting, so I let it stand where it is.
Mark Ivan Cole: "Woods Study" Various soft and hard pastels on Canson, 8x10"Based on my own reference photo For me, painting the scene is the next best thing to being there.
Kathy D Allegri: "Summer of '74," watercolor of my two eldest children and me back then. I started first washes about a decade ago, and put it away-somewhere. I found it yesterday while searching for more paper and finished it this morning. I know, not a "pure" alla prima, but 95% completed in a couple of hours. / 9 July 2020: Summer Desert View. I used watercolor brush pens and watercolor in my Hahnemühle Cappuccino Sketchbook. Pardon me for not painting this outside, but 108ºF's a wee-bit warm. I see this view from my studio.

Joanne Kollman: Here are some recently “revamped” outdoor paintings. I live with my plein air painting for a while and then I might go back into them to make adjustments and improvements in color and values.
Bhavani Krishnan: I started this on location at Luschers Farm. But I was stumped after the block-in. Unsure about how to proceed, I packed up. Once home, I revisited with fresh eyes and saw the S-composition in the painting. That helped me finish it.
Susan Kuznitsky: ‘Bali’ - pastel 16 x 20from a photo reference I took years ago on a trip to this magical place.

Peggie Moje: Hollyhocks at Luscher Farm - Oil - 16x12"
Mike Porter: A bit of art therapy. One white rose with two pinks. Realized a white Rose isn’t white! / A good day to cut roses before the deer chow down! So, I painted this arrangement. Tried to stay loose, but… / Out painting today with Jim Syfert at George Rogers Park. A beautiful day that also brought out the families with their own definition of social distancing. This is a view up the creek that comes in from the lake.
Eunice Sause: A seascape from my archives
Raphael Schnepf: Across the lago 3.5" x 7" gouache on illustration board scrap. 1.5-hour study.

through Nov. 2020 / Out and about today! What a pleasure to paint in Peninsula Park Rose Garden I revisited a painting from last year Oil on 11 x 14" canvas
Donna Stevens: Composition: The position and size of the frog sculpture are not to scale with the birdbath. Also, the sunlight passes through rhodies and arbor vidae before reaching this part of my yard. The sunlight zooooooms across the ferns and different parts of the birdbath ... don't look at your painting or you'll miss the view! Therefore, choices were made when it came to the play of light and shadow. This piece required about 4 sessions (plein air).
Jim Syfert: Weekly theme ‘composition’. Fun working on so many things. Take care! / Modeled after some of Matisse’s still life’s, not as good as his, but was fun painting and really like his use of color. / 9x12 oil ‘Goat barn’. A little fun with minimal color. From a photo I took at Grace’s farm on Cooper Mt./ Oil 9x12. From a photo I took last fall out at the Tualatin Wildlife Refuge. Tried to not overdo details, as the photo is very detailed. Have a good weekend and stay safe and healthy!
Harley Talkington: #paint4thursday with the theme of “Composition” in Monsoon Rising. “Sweep” is at the heart of this pastel composition, in the roll of the clouds, and the swirl of coconut fronds reaching out towards the water. The sandbar’s color in the nucleus of this painting, accentuates the sweep of water, as it reaches and recedes. The white sand’s quiet arc mirrors the ocean waves as both trail back and seem to meet at the storm. This composition was a gift of this spot in Goa, India.
Joanne Thorpe: In this composition my goal was to get to the top left peak. I balanced the heavy weight on the left with the tree on the right. Still experimenting with oil soluble oils and I think they are going to work out just fine. 18 x 14.
Loretta Unger: 16"x20" oil on canvas. Thanks to Andrey Lyssenko for permitting me to use his photo as an inspiration for this painting.

I was touching up this sketch at my studio last night but I swear I can still feel the heat of the fire and the smell of the smoky air.
Pamela Orazio-Mlady: I’m not buying cards in the stores, so I have been doing homemade cards for my grandchildren’s birthdays / Green Mansions 8" x 5.5" gouache on illustration board.
