'View From Queenstown Hill' - painting outdoors from Queenstown Hill, New Zealand

samuel-earp-art (65)in #art • 7 years ago

Following the theme of Queenstown, New Zealand, this is a plein air painting (painting outdoors) I did last year from Queenstown Hill

Queenstown Hill, 285mm x 380mm, oil on canvas, painted outdoors 'en plein air'.

The photos below shows the view from Queenstown Hill, the town is below and you get an amazing view of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains.

Queenstown Hill is over 900m high and it's a place I often like to go for a walk to get some exercise and quiet time.

It gets a bit chilly in winter!

Awesome work! I started oil painting pretty recently myself. I usually just make up landscapes as I go, but I do paintings of our travel photos sometimes. Here's one from Glacier National Park

Your a painterly painter, I like the defused detail, color and brushstrokes.

Thanks @reddust, my plein air paintings are much looser than my studio work which are much more detailed. I like both painting styles :)

I just looked at your studio art and saw the clarity and detail are very different but still both styles are pleasing to my eyes. Welcome to Steemit, your art is some of the best on the site!
