The color looks so different outside! And yes, I love my little Gorilla Painting Box. Although I used a bigger palette, who could possible use such a tiny palette? But I had a limited selection of colors because not many tubes fit😀. It might be to my benefit!

I went out with a friend this morning at 5:45 and painted this en plain air. I thought it could use a little more work on the hills, but it’s really more about the sky. So I’ll let it dry and go from there.

I’m determined to figure out plein air painting. I’ve found a spot not to far away where I can go to paint the sunset, so I’m going to do a series of paintings from this location until I figure out the process better.
I painted this one last night. I liked painting the sunset because I had to move really fast. I liked the limited window of light.
I’m not in love with my paintings right now, I feel like I am in a transition trying to figure out what I want to paint and how I want to paint it. I also want to understand color better.
I’m working on figuring out both this little 5X7″ painting box and plein air painting. I went out this morning to try to catch the sunrise and it was just foggy. It looked like it would just be a little cloudy which would have been great, but then the fog rolled in. There are actually mountains behind those trees.

You can expect so see a bunch of skyscapes in the near future. I’m in love with all the shapes and colors created in the clouds and sky.
Yesterday as I sat in the parking lot waiting during my daughters dance rehearsal I decided to pull out my paints and paint the cloudy Boise sky. I don’t normally have my paints in the car with me, but yesterday I did. It was great because I didn’t have to drive anywhere to find the sky.
