Painting Plein Aire and how colour influences us

Image
Artist Mary Rose Holmes is cheerfully dressed for painting today As our collectors and friends know, we  paint en plein air and we love fashion and colour. Living on the barrier islands here on Florida's Gulf coast provides us with intense colour at certain times of the year.    This is one such day.   In looking at these images we have a question.  Does the colour we wear and the the hearts we meet influence our paintings? He does not live here but fits in nicely Original oil paining by Violetta Spoonbill who is hospitalized at the Seabird Sanctuary Violetta paints a garden There are three of them and three of us.
