This painting was part of Paint the Town 2020 through the Florence Arts Council. When I got to Florence, I was struck by the smoke stacks. I learned that the area had lots of coal mines decades ago, and that the smoke stacks were a remnant. I liked how they cut the world vertically while the mountains and the horizon cut the world horizontally.

About Camie's plein air oil paintings:
Camie paints en plein air about once a week. She enjoys the spontaneity and the adventure that comes with plein air painting. All of her plein air oil paintings are one of a kind. She is selling them to make space. They are painted on hand gessoed, Richeson tempered hard board. These paintings are meant to be sketches, done quickly and intuitively. They are charming in their messy nature. Camie mostly uses standard sizes, which makes framing simple. A painting on board can be placed in a frame without glass.
