Since I go out with several paint-out groups I'm behind on posting my paintings. And I should catch up on some that are a few months old. But I had so much fun yesterday with our Saturday group that I'm adding that piece today.
Just a few of us returned to Fork Plaza in Pasadena, to paint the fork in the road as well as the 18 foot tall fork. We painted there over three years ago, an early plein air piece for me,
The Fork. The fork was put there in 2009 and went through some city politics before it was allowed to stay. The day felt like spring even though it's February, and the view was bright and clear. We painters had several choices of interesting views from the state owned vacant lot where we found our shady spots. There was even a lovely, picturesque alley I hadn't noticed before. But, it was about the fork and I loved all the verticals in my view - the fork, palms, and utility poles.

Looking great. Is that electric cables or phone cables?
ReplyDeleteHere in Sweden we have all the cables in the ground. Most of them.
Thank you Catharina. Yes, the poles and cables are disappearing here too...one reason I like to include them!
DeleteI like the whole painting, Sherry, but am partial to telephone poles and figures - great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joani!
DeleteAnother great one, Sherry. The verticals really do give the painting great interest. In Philly, we have a giant clothespin (like as big as that fork) right smack dab in center city. I love that kind of art. You really painted this well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry! Love those huge Claes Oldenburg pieces and forgot you have the clothespin.
