Camp Hill Colors by Julie Riker

8x10 oil on canvas panel

I painted this on the last day of the Camp Hill Plein Air event.  Most of the festivities were winding down and the mood was much more relaxed,  but there were still some artists taking advantage of the great sunlight that afternoon.  I noticed this house along Willow Park earlier in the weekend and was waiting for an opportunity to paint it later in the day when the light was hitting the front porch.  I don't paint in primary colors too often, so I thought it would be a good self-challenge.

Julie, as I was looking for my Quick Draw painting site - I saw this house and was very tempted...but did not think I would do it justice with only two hours of painting. I am SO glad you painted it - I absolutely love it!

Claire, I looked at it in the morning too, but the light was not good (interesting that I just read Ron's post on the same thing). Ultimately you and I BOTH did pretty well painting the house we chose.

This is very nice Julie; it give me a warm, welcomed feeling just looking at it.
