Another painting from my backyard; I love the dark house and the warm fall colors surrounding it. This house belongs to my niece's neighbors grandmother. I employed a vignette style more commonly seen in watercolor, where the paint is not applied all the way to the edges. It feels softer and more harmonious to me, particularly suited to this type of canvas which needs no frame. Oil paint on gall

It has been some time since I last went out to do Plein air painting. Part of the reason is because I have been enjoying my new studio, but the other part is that I have been working hard and have enjoyed sleeping in. Maybe it was the fact that snow will soon be blanketing our province, or the fact that the colour in the trees are about to fade and are so somber now that I just had to paint them.

sketches of birch tree bark, done plein air. Vivien BlackburnHow do I use sketchbooks?Using sketchbooks to work out ideas and sketching plein air are very important to me. The plein air sketches are done simply to study scenes or weather or texture or light ....... whatever has grabbed my interest. They aren't intended to be finished pieces for framing, though sometimes they do become finished and are framed. In that case I scan them and keep a print in the sketchbook, part of a series of linked sketches and ideas. The time spent looking intently and studying colour, form, line and light fixes the subject in your memory.These sketches were of the bark on some birch trees that fascinated me with the multiple 'eyes' in the bark pattern. I had no thoughts at all as to what I would do with the

$100 via PayPal, free shipping within US 7 x 5″, Oils on canvas covered hardboard, unframed Since I’m still sick, I am bumping up a painting of one of my favorite trees along the Hudson River to share with my viewers. It’s become hidden in the depths of my blog, so I’m happy to pull it up to the top again where it can be seen. I did some sketches today, but don’t have the energy to get into the workshop to take pictures of them and do the uploading. This was painted on a warm, sunny fall day. I took advantage of it by driving over to Garrison and painting my favorite tree along the Hudson River. It is just opposite West Point Military Academy. Fortunately for me, the tree still had leaves, though it was already November! This painting is already dry and varnished, so it’s ready to send and would make a great gift!

This was painted high on a hilltop above the Hudson River, behind the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park. I was really hoping to paint down by the river, but when I arrived at the location, I learned that the road has been closed all season for repairs. Although that was a huge disappoinment, I found this beautiful spot behind the mansion from which to paint the little red boathouse that I love to put into my paintings from Hyde Park. Pretty soon, all that beautiful fall foliage will be gone! Hudson River Vanderbilt Mansion Hyde Park plein air landscape painting acrylic

This was painted on location at Bannerman’s Island along the shorline by the Wee Bay. Zack, who works on maintaining the grounds there, told me he’d just cut down brush in this area, and it might make for a great painting location. He was right! The skies had cleared a bit by then, so I even had some sunshine at last. A portion of the sale of this painting goes to Bannerman Castle Trust, which maintains the island and its structures, and undertakes renovation projects there.

It is quite a striking Hudson River view from up there! The skies were threatening and overcast, but it didn’t rain.

8×10″, Acrylic on canvas covered hardboard SOLD This is my painting from yesterday’s Artists on Location event in Garrison, New York. It’s a terrible photo; the sky is really not cyan, and the water is more muted in the actual painting. I had to take the photo in my car before I delivered the painting. That threw the colors all out of whack. The painting sold at the auction, so I won’t have a chance to get a better photo. It was freezing cold yesterday morning, so I parked my car at the Riverview Restaurant’s lot in Cold Spring and painted from the passenger seat, using my little pochade painting box! They have a fabulous view of the Hudson River and Storm King Mountain. Unfortunately, there is a sewage treatment plant next door, but whipping out my Creative License, I turned that back into the nice grassy field that it used to be.

I finally chose this location near the road, drawn by the overlook to the pond and the strong color of the goldenrod.

16×20″, Oils on canvas covered hardboard SOLD This is a terrible photo of my second painting that sold last night following the Rhinebeck Paintout. I had to take the photo with a flash and dismal lighting. The color of the sky and background hills is waaaaay off! In spite of the bad photo, I did want to be able to at least show an idea of what my other painting looked like. I love this view from Olana looking toward the Catskills. If there’d been a more dramatic sky yesterday, I’d have done a vertical format instead, or a lower horizon that featured more sky. The tall, relatively narrow tree has a wonderful shape, but showcasing the top of the tree would have left nothing happening on the other side of the painting on this clear, nearly-cloudless day. Cutting out much of the sky showcases the background mountains to draw us into the painting. Many thanks to my buyers from last night for sharing my love of the Hudson Valley in art.

I went up to Frederic Church’s estate, Olana, to enjoy the beautiful weather and soak up some of his inspiration.

I’ll post the other one tomorrow. Both sold this evening. Olana Frederic Church Hudson River School oil painting Hudson Valley plein air Rhinebeck Art Auction Barrett Art Center

Texte repris du réseau voltaire, c’est assez inquiétant: La fièvre de l’entraînement et du réarmement des anciennes milices au Liban bat son plein. Devant l’ampleur du phénomène, le cabinet de Fouad Siniora y a consacré une réunion qui a duré six heures, lundi dernier. Après la fin des délibérations, le porte-parole du gouvernement et ministre de l’Information, Ghazi Aridi (lui-même membre d’une ancienne milice, le Parti socialiste progressiste de Walid Joumblatt), a laissé entendre que se sont surtout les partis de l’opposition qui se réarment. Il a même fait état de plaintes parvenues à l’archevêché maronite de la région de Jbeil (Byblos) de la part de parents inquiets des activités de leurs enfants. Le lendemain, l’archevêché a publié un communiqué niant en bloc ces informations. En fait, M. Aridi cherche à cacher ou à déformer une vérité que la plupart des Libanais connaissent très bien.

12×16″, Oils on canvas covered hardboard There is nothing for a Hudson River painter quite like standing in the yard at Frederic Church’s estate and looking up at his home, paintbrush in hand. Spending an occasional day at Olana makes me appreciate the history and drama of painting in the Hudson Valley. This painting, done on location at Olana a few weeks ago, needed a few studio tweaks before I could call it done. As you can probably tell by looking at the painting, the drawing of the mansion took up most of my painting time on site! The sun was moving quickly and the lighting changed dramatically before I had a chance to wrap it up. Today I touched up the trees a bit and altered the slope on the left side.

She has a fabulous view of the distant hills, and the foreground tree was lit up against the dark hillside. The tops of the grasses and goldenrod on the field were illuminated by the strong morning light, and popped against the deep shadows. Goldenrod pink grass fall landscape painting acrylic plein air

12×12″, acrylic on canvas covered hardboard $295 via PayPal, $10 shipping within US (email me for international rates) Plein air painting is always so full of suspense. Not only don’t you know how the painting will turn out, but you never know what may happen on the journey and during the process. It’s always an adventure; I think that’s why I’m so hooked! A few days ago when I went to Long Island Sound to paint at Marshlands Conservancy, it was an easy ride, and even the painting process seemed effortless. By contrast, today was a true traffic nightmare, and I felt like I fought for this painting every step of the way! That really took me by surprise. I’ve painted the Constitution Marsh overview from Boscobel so many times that I never thought this marsh view in Rye would give me such a battle. I came home so tired that I had to take a nap! salt marsh Marshlands Conservancy Rye NY plein air acrylic painting Hudson Valley Long Island Sound

I don’t think I’ve been here for over 20 years, but I sure am going to revisit very soon! The smell of the salt air and the serenity, combined with fabulous views, are truly plein air heaven!

8×16″, acrylic on canvas $295 via PayPal, $10 shipping within US (email me for international rates) This is another plein air painting done along the Hudson River from my favorite spot in Cold Spring, NY. I just can’t get enough of this location! Storm King Mountain is on the left, and Breakneck Ridge on the right, with Little Stony Point jutting out into the river. Watching the huge barges, tugs and beautiful sailboats pass through the middle could become a favorite pastime! The clouds were truly amazing in the morning, and the chroma was so strong that I had to pull out the phthalo blue to get the beautiful almost-turquoise color low in the sky.

September Field of Trees, oil, 16x20, $500 Path Through the Cedars, oil, 8x10, $200 Headless Scarecrow, oil, 8x10, $200Some Thoughts on GreenAnother summer is coming to an end and that means I've completed another season of studying the color green. Plein air painters often dread this color. It completely dominates the landscape throughout the summer and if not handled correctly the results are a disasterous painting. Ask me how I know this LOL. I keep a little journal with musings about art and life in it. Here's a recent entry anout the color green:I watch as the clouds form and reform behind the treetops. I study the color of the trees. They're green of course....but no, I look at the green plastic pitcher on the deck. It's bright yellow green. I compare. It's not anywhere to be found in the trees. Only the sunlit grass comes close and even then the red-brown of the earth shows through causing an orange glow beneath the green grass. I look at the deep green of the chair cushio

5×7, Acrylics on Fabriano Artistico rag watercolor paper, unframed $100 via PayPal, $6 shipping within US (email me for international rates) I just got in from a couple of days at Lake George, New York. What a beautiful place to relax and paint. I usually don’t get to paint much during family trips, but one morning when we were all at the beach, I pulled out my little pochade box and did this 5×7 under the shade of a nice, big beach umbrella. Here’s a photo of my painting setup at the beach (You can click to enlarge this image): Here’s what the scene looked like before I started, from the vantage point of my comfy beach chair. That dot up in the sky is actually somebody parasailing! If you click the image to enlarge it, you can just make out the parachute: I did get some great photos to work from one night when we went on a sunset cruise. We also drove up Prospect Mountain, which has 100 mile views, and took some pictures up there. So, there should be m

Pourquoi pas un peu d'exotisme et d'évasion à la sortie du travail entre amis (cf Sally et Willan). Direction métro Censier-Daubenton où se trouver la Grande Mosquée de Paris pour déguster un thé à la menthée traditionnelle en terrasse...avec de l'imagination on pourrait se croire au Maghreb! Cadre vraiment magnifique avec parasol,fontaine, tables avec dessus posées des plateaux or "gravé" d'écriture orientale (désolé pour cette description peu soigné mais j'vois pas comment l'exprimer autrement :s), tout cela pour dire qu'il faut au moins y aller une fois. Moi qui d'habitude va mettre 4 sucres pour une tasse de thé à la menthe je n'en ai même pas eu le besoin tellement c'était délicieux et vraiment pas cher (2 euros le thé). Si vous voulez vous pouvez également manger...mais ça une prochaine fois :)

The Order Beds 10" x 14" on Arches Hot Press copyright Katherine Tyrrell This is a sketch which I started a couple of weeks ago at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew - or Kew Gardens as they popularly known and finished the next day. It's a view of the Order Beds (in the north eastern section of the garden or no 28 on the map) from the centre of that bit of the garden - looking towards the Temple

Click image to enlarge: 18×24″, Oils on stretched canvas, custom framing included in price $1100 via PayPal, $30 shipping within US (email me for international rates) This is another plein air painting from Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. It was done over a period of several days’ painting on location, and a little studio time as well. This scene was painted from the same location as “Brenda’s House”, facing a different direction. I love that spot! Ward Pound Ridge Reservation trees field plein air oil painting

Click to enlarge: 24×30″, oils on stretched canvas, custom framed, postage includes insurance $2250 via PayPal, $50 shipping within US (email me for international rates) Painting will not be sent until the show ends in mid October. This painting was done over a period of several days on location from one of my favorite painting spots at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River, NY. It is a view of an old farmhouse currently occupied by one of the preserve managers. The fields turn brilliant colors starting in late summer and continuing through the fall. I spent nearly all day today selecting works for my Ward Pound Ridge show and framing them. Sometimes being an artist unfortunately does not involve painting! The show is titled “Plein Air Plus”, and the painting above is the one that will appear on the front of the post card for the event. The show will be mostly plein air landscapes (painted on location) completed at Ward Pound Ridge, with some studio lands

Click image to enlarge: 24×36″, oils on stretched canvas $1900 via PayPal, $40 shipping within US (email me for international rates) This is a large oil painting done over a period of several days on location at the Boscobel Restoration in Fall, with some finishing touches completed in the studio. It is the famous view from the bluff above the Hudson River, overlooking Consitution Marsh. You can see a summer view of the scene that I did last week in a smaller format by scrolling down this page! The marsh glows red in the fall and it’s a spectacular sight come late October. I’m looking forward to getting back there again this fall. I haven’t posted this painting to my blog before, and many viewers have been asking to see more of my larger works. Yesterday was a hectic day of errands and doctor’s appointments for both pets and children, so I didn’t get to paint. It seems an appropriate time to post this piece that hasn’t yet been seen here

10×8″, oils on canvas covered hardboard Not currently available as this is my color reference for other paintings from the island, but paintings of this scene in any size/medium may be requested (Email me at link at top of this page) This is a second oil sketch that I did on location on Bannerman Island in the Hudson River yesterday. It was a real challenge with time consraints on such a complex subject. This is the remains of the castle residence at the peak of the island. I tried to walk around the island as much as possible during the time I was there, both to take photos to work from and to do some paintings/sketches on location. I’m pleased with this one in many ways, and look forward to doing some more from this area of the island with this color reference and my photos. I may or may not go back into this painting and bring it to a more finished state. Bannerman Island Castle plein air oil painting Hudson River

8×10″, oils on canvas covered hardboard Bannerman’s Island and the castle-like structures there are amazing sites in the middle of the Hudson River. They are a plein air painter’s dream. The island is currently owned by New York State, and access is prohibited except by special arrangement. A huge series of explosions on the island nearly leveled the buildings. The remains are barely standing and very dangerous—hence the need to limit access to the public. Today, Bannerman Castle Trust took me to the island for a day of plein air painting. I have a show at the Bannerman Island Gallery in October and will be selling some paintings of scenes on the island. This is one of the oil sketches I did there today. It is the armory where Francis Bannerman kept his stash of munitions. I painted it sitting on the dock before it was time to leave. (It still needs a few tweaks to finish it up; I had to pack up to leave when the boat was ready to go!) I’ll be kee

8×16″, Golden Acrylics on canvas covered hardboard $295 via PayPal, $10 shipping within US (email me for international rates) This painting was done on location at Boscobel Restoration. It is the famous overview of Constitution Marsh and the Hudson River. I set up my easel in the cool shade under a big tree along the bluff. I think I’ve painted from this spot in nearly every season and every size. It occurred to me that I hadn’t done an 8×16″ summer view of the scene, so here it is for the very first time!

I’m really enjoying these early mornings of spectacular light and calm atmosphere. I was set up right on the path leading down to the water, taking in the sights and sounds of dawn.
