Sexton Ranch Barn Plein Air Oil Painting by Marcy Brennan

Sexton Ranch Barn Plein Air Painting - 8"x10" oil on canvas panel - $150

We had a large group out to Sexton Ranch in Vero Beach last Wednesday.  After another painter and I circled around the area lost for about half an hour, we found the right turnoff and had a gorgeous morning of painting!  This dilapidated old barn captured everyone's interest, all from different angles. I found a nice shady spot under a hundred year old oak and set up there.

Then lunch afterwards with two painting buddies and some major damage to our bank accounts at Michaels after lunch.  All in all, a successful, fun day.  ;-)

Savanna's Bridge Plein Air Oil Painting by Marcy Brennan

Savanna's Bridge Plein Air Oil Painting - 8"x10" oil on canvas panel $150

I've been wanting to paint this bridge since my plein air group was at the Savannah's Recreation Area last fall and one of the artists was painting it.  I got the chance to paint it this fall.  The bridge itself was a challenge as structures aren't my forte - I'm more of a landscape painter.

And when I went to scan the painting, I noticed I've signed it twice - you know, when one time just won't do.  ;-)  So definitely have to paint over one of them.

Oak Canopy Plein Air Oil Painting by Marcy Brennan

Oak Canopy Plein Air Oil Painting - 8" x 10" oil on canvas panel - $150

I painted this lovely view while sitting in a shady and cool oak hammock at Savannah's Recreation Area in the fall of 2013.  It sat in my "fix me" pile for a year!  I finally had some time last month to sit down and "fix" this one.  It's now "post-worthy."  ;-)

Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes Plein Air Oil Painting by Marcy Brennan

Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes Plein Air Oil Painting - 8"x10" - $150

I've always loved the look of the Cobb's Landing Restaurant (mainly because it's aqua, my favorite color), and I'm a sucker for a tiki roof!  I finally got to paint it during Main Street's plein air paint-out downtown.

My friend, Judith, and I set up across the street from the restaurant the first morning of the paint-out and braved the cold and wind all morning.  You can "see" the wind in the palm trees in front of the restaurant.  It was an unseasonably cool day for April in South Florida, but I'll take the cool over hot and sticky any day!
