Today was the first day of the second annual Camp Hill Plein Air Event.
I drove around to find a place to paint, and wound up
leaving the borough of Camp Hill and heading for the
historic Peace Church. I drove down into the cemetery,
and found the perfect angle to catch the sunlight on the
building, and also that magnificent Red Maple.
This was done entirely on site. I am glad I finished up
when I did because the grounds-keepers came in to
mow, and decided to mow right where I was painting!
Here's my set up - I was about 85% - 90% done at this point.
No one was mowing at this point :)

Absolutely beautiful; great job! It's a winner.
I've driven past this location a "million" times, and although the building is beautiful in its simplicity, the location with its traffic and lack of landscaping is, to me, completely uninspiring. Your painting is a perfect example of how an artist, with her artistic eye and great skill for choosing perfect vantage points, can create, in the midst of traffic noise and hubbub, a beautiful, peaceful setting--something this church really needs.
Great post Claire. I love how you share your plein air event experiences with the public. What a beautiful day to paint!!
I love the bits of red here and there, bringing a nice symme-tree to the painting!
