Lake Austin Piers, 5x7
SOLD
Our friend and fellow Plein Air Austin member, Cindy Ridge, hosted today's paintout. Her shady Lake Austin property was one of the few cool outdoor spots around Austin today. Torrential rains earlier in the week and today's sunny skies made for a hot and extremely humid day. Luckily for us the water temperature in this part of the lake is around 70ยบ at the moment, thanks to a release from Mansfield Dam, upstream. The water temp and a slight breeze kept Cindy's shady yard nice and cool. When can we come back, Cindy?

Great job Stephen! Yes, you make our great outdoors look cool and refreshing. Love how you caught the light!
Beautifully composed. And your dappled light and shadow...icing on the cake!
The Plein Air Austin group knows how to pick a location
what a strong painting Stephen...just perfectly composed!
Beautiful painting, lovely brushwork.
Stephen,
Great job. Nice darks.
Very nice Stephen, beautiful work!
Love how the light hitting the piers draw you into the painting. Very nice, Stephen.
Composition very sound around values, just spot on! Color spot on too. That make it all just perfectly done.
Lovely - you really got the feeling of sunlight in this.
I haven't visited in a while and I have to say that I love these new paintings. One of my favorites is the Barn on Avalon. Very nice color in all and I love the painterly quality.
This is so lovely and I SO wish I was out painting with you all. I adore Cindy Ridge - used to paint with her in Laurel Daniel's classes. I'm gonna get that plein air schedule out. Do ya'll ever paint on the weekend? I am also an Austin native. Wonderful painting!!
