Wildwood Sanctuary Plein Air by Mary Beth Brath


Wildwood Sanctuary Plein Air
11x14" Acrylic on Canvas


On the morning of August 5th, Julie Riker, Patricia Griffin and I met outside of Harrisburg to paint.  Of course, my time was limited to about 2 hours before I needed to run to Mechanicsburg to open the gallery.  Eventhough time can be scarce, I still make sure I get in painting time.  The coloring is more true to life in the photo that was taken onsite.
