Plein-Airing at the Hoot Owl

Spring means I don't have to wear all my millions of layers and defrost the windshield! What a treat.
This old railway station has many neat views I'd like to revisit. But on this visit, I was drawn to the beautiful lowlight in the back contrasting with the industrial grit of the parking lot to the left and the old beauty to the right. What goes on at the Hoot Owl, I wonder? I couldn't tell...

Jennifer, vous êtes une magicienne ! Vous faites de cet endroit "ordinaire" une magnifique peinture aux teintes subtiles. J'adore !

Booyah-another automotive masterpice! Well done! I usually avoid painting on overcast days but you found so many lovely muted colors.

[@Jennifer_Sampson_Art]

Booyah! Lol! I love it. 😁 I used to do sunny scenes more until I realized grey days are waaaay less stressful because the light stays the same all day. 😅🤣

[@darlenemc3586]

Nicely done and all from your car! I love it

[@Jennifer_Sampson_Art]

The paintmobile -- safe and comfortable! 🤣 Thanks!

[@KayInMaine]

Beautiful painting as always, Jennifer! Love it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who reuses a canvas for a current painting. I think the underlining painting adds a lot.

[@Jennifer_Sampson_Art]

Right? Lots of neat texture and colors -- for free! And art supplies are expensive... 😅

[@KayInMaine]

@@Jennifer_Sampson_Art Yes, the texture is so wonderful! Art supplies are expensive for sure. It wouldn't be if I sold more paintings. LOL

[@Jennifer_Sampson_Art]

@@KayInMaine 😭😭😭 It's so true!! May we both sell All The Paintings and be able to afford All The Supplies. 😆

[@KayInMaine]

@@Jennifer_Sampson_Art right on sistah! Come on, Art Sale Gods! 🤣🤣🤣

I love it! An old train station, we have one similar near me, I’ve always tackled the whole building but I like how you cropped it off.

[@Jennifer_Sampson_Art]

Aren't they neat? One could do many paintings with all kinds of compositions here. I'll definitely be back... 😊

[@JimLongCO]

Ha I love this! Do people get paint on themselves when they ride in your car?

[@ChristopherRobinsonFaculty]

How did you do that? I was so lost as you began the work of painting over the earlier work. And, then, suddenly, it came together. Hope you had a lovely meal after this!

[@Jennifer_Sampson_Art]

You and me both! 😂 It's definitely more of a "trust the process" thing, working over another painting. Apropos of nothing, I'm reading David Brooks' new book. Really enjoying it. Well written and much needed right now!

[@ChristopherRobinsonFaculty]

Glad you're liking it. I just finished Zadie Smith's new novel, The Fraud. She's the smartest writer around. Thank you again for the video. I really enjoyed it.
