Plein aire desert oil painting

Thank You

Billy D.

 

Jean Ashbrook.

 

okay cool, Thank You.

 

Love the painting,but your avatar is freaking me out !

 

Just to be clear, I know a lot of people call something like this "plein aire" but it's technically not. En plein air (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ plɛn ɛːʁ]), or plein air painting, is a phrase borrowed from the French equivalent meaning "open (in full) air". It is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. There are a lot of plein aire painters here where I live because it's so beautiful. Since you have no way of knowing if the artist was actually outdoors when he/she painted this, you should rightly call it a desert landscape.

 

nice painting.....

 

My meaning is freaking you out

 

It looks it was done outside, right off the side of the road.

 

???
Or in a basement, mad Uncle Bartholomew's soft room, missile silo, Grandma's attic or tunnel of the Maginot Line.

 

Many artists, including myself, work from photographs that we took by the side of the road.

 

And all BEAUTIFUL Bev!

 

I LOVE those Bev !

 

As I'm sure you've found, Jean Ashbrook worked from Palm Springs. Perhaps you'll be able to identify scene. Coachella Valley or beyond.

Debora

 

Yes I found her, you are probably right.

 

very nice collection

 

What is that painting worth?

 

We don't do values...but maybe Billy has a price in mind !!

 

If he even still has it. This thread is from last March.

 

I was trying to be nice...........................................

 

Of course! You're always nice.
