Last week I had been to my native town Bayreuth and took the opportunity to paint the beautiful countryside. I also tried to master a slightly bigger panel size.
Letzte Woche war in in meiner Geburtsstadt Bayreuth und nutzte die Gelegenheit dort in der wunderschönen Umgebung zu malen. Ich versuchte auch ein etwas größeres Format zu bewältigen.
Farm | Bauerhof, 30 x 40 cm, Oil on Canvaspanel
Grove | Baumgruppe, 40 x 30 cm, Oil on Canvaspanel
Old Barn | Alter Schuppen, 24 x 30 cm, Oil on Canvaspanel

WOW!!! Three beautifully balanced works. Great color -- great skies and feeling of light.
Stefan,
These are all incredibly well executed....and with a 30x40" panel. That's impressive!
My favorite is the old barn like structure. It has a moody and mysterious aura to it.
Wagner country. Good works!
Thanks Steve, your comment is very much appreciated, because the skies are so difficult to paint.
Hi Jennifer, thanks to you, but I have to explain, it is centimeters not inches. In inches it is 12 x 16.
I did the old barn after another one which turned out so bad. The place where I painted the barn was so beautiful that I was in a better mood and had the practice from the first one.
Chris, I have to confess that I like Wagners music, but I like painting more. Thanks!
wow!! These are wonderful! I'm working on a landscape and need some advince, if I post it up will you give me some suggestions?
THanks!
Paul, I am quite flattered about your request and I will certainly try to say something reasonably about your painting. I have been to your blog and you are a man of many interests. That is great. Thanks for your comment.
What gorgeous beautiful light Stefan.
You draw me into your work.
Stefan,
You, William Wray, Nathan Fowkes and Jennifer McChristian make plein air painting look so effortless. I spent the weekend painting in a ravine by a brook and I wouldn't call the two paintings I did a success. It was educational and it was fun but not a triumph. I'll likely post it anyway but I'll include links to the people who are the masters.
The thing I respect most here, having just tried to do it, is your dead on color sense. All three of these capture the moment beautifully.
English, Indeed 76.2 x 101.6 cm. that would be incredible! (hihihi) Just kidding these are nothing less then incredible, all three of them.
btw. I've tagged you. If you want to go along, do take a look at my blog to see what's it all about.
Deutch,
Genau, 76. 2 x 101.6 cm. das wurde unglaublich sein. Übrigens diese sind auch unglaublich all drei!
Ich habe dich auch noch "gemärk mahlt." Du kannst mit tun, umsu sehen was es einhalt schaue dir meine blog an.
Nederlands, Inderdaad 76.2 x 101.6 cm. dat zou pas ongelofelijk zijn, al zijn deze schilderijen ook ongeloveloos mooi, alle drie.
Ik heb je trouwens "ge-oormerkt." Om te zien wat dat inhoud en of je mee wilt doen, neem even een kijkje op mijn weblog.
Thank you very much, Robin.
Wow, Tom! Those three guys you mentioned are so good and I am fairly new to Plein Air, that it makes me very happy that you see it that way.
When a painting doesn´t turn out so well, it doesn´t matter so much because I had nevertheless a very good time painting and doing what I love.
I am looking forward to see your paintings. Thanks!
Hey René,thanks for your comment but I am not shure about having been tagged by you. On the one hand you have written so nice about me on your blog and on the other had I am a very coy person. ;-)
This tagging thing is a little like these chain letter. Right?
great drawing and color variety to all of these-- More and more I see your "style"
12x16" is still a good seize for plein air,stefan
you are so good at catching light
wunderbar!
Thanks, William, I have also the feeling that I am getting more and more used to the specifics of plein air.
Hi Rob, recently I bought me two books by Emile Gruppé and this guy does very big paintings outside. His standart size is 64 x 76 cm (25 x 30 in) and 76 x 91 cm (30 x 36 in).
I think the light is so essential and when you have realized that, almost everything becomens worth painting.
