The Chestnut Street Monster


It’s funny how some subjects seem to just pop-up and wave at you to get your attention. I found this cute graffiti monster while searching for a new painting location during last weeks Cranford Plein Air Event. I painted everything but the chain link fence in one sitting and returned the following afternoon to finish it up.

Medium: Artist quality oil.
Painted on: Artist quality linen.
Dimensions: 9x12 inches.

In Full Bloom - SOLD

There was no missing this vibrantly colored azalea bush contrasting against all the greens of the wooded area in which this was painted. I purposely did very little color mixing in the “warm/hot” tones so as not to risk loosing the intense saturation of this subject. I used a limited palette of 4-5 colors for this painting: Cad yellow, Permanent Rose, Permanent Alizarin, Viridian and a touch of Cerulean Blue.

Medium: Artist quality oil.
Painted on: Artsit quality linen.
Dimensions: 9x12 inches.
