In 2020 I was determined to plein air paint all through the winter. That made for some freezing fingers. This painting forced me to finish inside, in the middle of my kitchen to be exact. I think the freezing cold made it's way into my painting. I like the gnarly trees we have here in Broomfield. My husband tells me they are Cottonwoods.

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.
