To the Sea
9 x 12", oil en plein air

Oh, the irony... my first post on the Daily Painters of Pennsylvania is a plein air painting I recently did in...New Jersey. 6 of us artist friends rented a house for a week in Cape May- what a great time painting we had. I did this piece on the last morning there. I loved the crowds of people and the opportunity to paint a landscape I rarely see. It really pushed me artistically: it was good to see a landscape with fresh eyes, but I didn't have my usual bag of tools in addressing a typical PA landscape. Dealing with the fences at the beach was a composition challenge. I tried to keep things simple, loosey goosey and light-hearted.

Welcome to the Daily Painters of Pennsylvania Jill. I really look forward to seeing your work on the blog. I love your use of color.
Hi Jill and welcome, I admire your paintings and enjoy seeing your new work.
Welcome to DPP, Jill. I have been an admirer of your work since I first saw it at the Camp Hill Plein Air Event.
So glad you have joined this group Jill! I love your work.
DITTO everyone's comments--I, also, first saw your work at the CH Pein Air event-this piece appears to be even more loose than others I have seen--really like it as well-fresh, expressive and "beachy"--looking forward to seeing more on DPP.
Thanks! It will be fun getting to know you all better :)

Welcome to DPP, Jill. I really like the looseness of this. You captured the subject well.
