A "paint out" is a gathering either formal or informal for plein air painters to work at the same location. It is a lot of fun to find a new spot to paint at and meet new artist friends. Arizona Plein Air Painters had a paint out yesterday at the Sedona home of Sue Davis. It was a beautiful day and Sue's backyard is 360 degrees of views of Sedona's famous red rock scenery. It was bliss! Sue and her husband were gracious hosts sharing their art filled home and a delicious lunch. I got three 11x14 oils done...photos are a bit tricky with the paint too shiny in the sun and a bit dull in the shade...but here they are. I started "tighter" with the one with the big tree in the front right. The middle one is catching some of the yellow flowers and junipers and red rocks. Then I turned back to the same view of the mountain as the first one.and did a quick one (40 min.) before we left. You can see how the time of day changed the colors. I really hoped the Davis' would invite me to move in their guest room, but they didn't so I am back down in the valley.
