Friday afternoon I finished the plein air painting I did Thursday at the Indian Mill at Upper Sandusky, Ohio. This painting is 12"x 9" and is painted on a canvas panel in oil paint. What a wonderful experience it is painting out doors and listening to the falling water and the birds... spiritual!

What a great building - and a great painting too. You've managed such gorgeous, juicy greens in the foliage. That must be why the red is so vibrant. x
Wondersful painting!!! I like the beautiful red and lovely green :)
Hi Gillian - I mixed my greens - I think they are so hard to get right so I am glad that you think they look okay. It does make the red pop, doesn't it?
Thanks, Ashley! I mixed the red by using alizarin crimson and yellow ochre with some white and a touch of burnt sienna. I love the combination of crimson and yellow ochre.
Gorgeous, Barb!
Barb...I think this is so charming and even more commendable as it was done en plein air! I, too, love the colors you mixed. I just keep looking at this painting and seeing more and more that I love!
I love the colors in this one Barb.
