Plein Air Paintings

I guess keeping up with a blog is more difficult than I thought when I started! So much happens that I get caught up in it and forget to blog.

I have started a newsletter and published my first issue today. Well I tried to send it out on Sat. but the type caused a problem - no one could read it! So I redid it and it is out on the email waves now. If people want to subscribe they need to go to www.fineartstudioonline.com/marileestockman and click on newsletter to subscribe.

I thought you might want to see one of my paintings. They are plein air - meaning they are done outdoors in about 3 hour time. Usually I finish them off in the studio. I have spent so much time on my sculpture that I haven't done too much painting of late. But I will show you what I have.





This was painted in Palm Springs. My friend Marie and I

were there for a painting trip with a group we belong to, but

most of them had gone elsewhere when we got there so

we found this scene off of a parking lot. Well you paint

where you see something. It is called 'Desert Beauty'.


This is called 'Garden Entrance'. It was painted in Santa Ana, CA of a historic house. We did a paint out on this property in honor of the owners who have been very supportive of our gallery.

This all for now. I hope you have enjoyed my work.
