Last day plein air painting took us to "The Knob" , located in Woods Hole, MA

with spectacular views of Quissett Harbor.

It replicated a European fishing village port with it's many anchored colorful boats and buoys. It was a beautiful sunny crisp day. You can see the painters setting up in the distant left. I arrived early and took tons of reference photos in the morning light. It's fun to explore the points of land that jut out into the sea so I took a quick bike ride/walk to the very tip of "The Knob" before returning to set up and choose a vantage point of the harbor.

"Buoys II" by Susie Morrell

While the fog in waters comes and goes equally fast, the lobster buoys are always brightly painted and clearly identifiable.

"While choosing the color of the buoy you must ensure the color or color patterns are unique to you and no other lobsterman is using them."

This charming doorway was part of the Museum on the Green in Falmouth, MA painted plein air. I just loved the whale sign and light fixture by the door along with the colors created by the light on the cedar shingles and the warm greens in the distance. This piece is a bit larger than I usual paint measuring 8" x 8"

Here is a photo another artist took of me painting so you can see the full view. The tricky thing about painting plein air... when I started the painting the Museum was closed. During the course of painting the Museum opened sliding the doors to cover the window I was painting. One recommendation by our instructor was to take a photo of your view when you first start to paint just for this reason... I'm glad I did so I could finish by using my reference photo :-)

this is how it looks on the included easel:

Day 2 in Cape Cod our group of plein air painters scattered around the grounds of the Museum in Falmouth painting the architecture and gardens. The inspiration for this painting came for the lamp post you see here. Throughout the seaport village you see these wonderful lamps and accents to the architecture. I chose to focus on the the top of the lamp for this painting, but the whole photo could be a painting with the charming cedar shingle home in the background. Plein air adds a whole new dimension to the painting experience. You are out of the studio's controlled environment and suddenly surrounded with the sensory stimulation of the environment and it's weather, ever changing light, breezes and sometimes pesky bugs! It was a beautiful day but very warm so the shade was a welcomed change to my morning painting which I will post tomorrow.

here are some of the other artist's vantage points in the garden...
