Iconic St. Joe storefront at night - a fun buzz and activity around this location, and the splashes of color on the signage and awning made for an exciting contrast in the composition!

First Snowfall 11-11-21

What follows is an experience that, as a plein air painter, happens frequently - you have a plan worked out on where you want to paint and then somewhere along the way something catches your eye and changes your path for the day. In fishing they say "Don't leave fish for other fish". So I guess the takeaway is that if there is a good, paintable subject in front of you, embrace it! I had plans of painting fresh snowfall on some urban structures (and still plan too), but this scene with the tractor and fresh snow on the popple trees was too good to pass up! 

Visually I relish these times when conditions completely transform the world around us. Although overcast and a bit drab, the contrast of the snow in the landscape was inescapable and unbelievably inspiring!

On the horizon

The road leading back and the light enhancing the horizon provided a good focal point. 

So easy to pass by a view and not really pay much attention to it, but when looking closer there is quite a bit of variety in color and intensity in a single field.

 This striking lighting condition where the foreground is in bright sunlight and the background in shadow happens on the partly cloudy days, but it is s fairly hard situation to paint plein air because it's ephemeral:  here one second and gone the next.  I took some photos as reference and the lighting came and went enough times to get the gist of it.  Very inspiring scene!

The snow and ice pattern on the lake was a welcome variation,  providing a dynamic element and offsetting the vertical trees.  There was just enough color in the scene to balance the starkness of the early freeze.

Weathered Wood 
I believe that also happens to be the color of our shingles on our 🏠
This little building is borderline too "perfect" in how run-down it is, and I've avoided painting it for that reason. But it keeps catching my eye so there must be something more to it.

I've literally driven past this farm thousands of times in my life. I've painted it a few times. Its so picturesque with the creek winding and leading in toward the textured farm site. When we were kids it was operational and there were often cows wading in the water.
