Plein Air Ordinary

No finished piece in this style yet.

In plain words

An everyday local scene, like a bus shelter or a laundry line, painted in oil in one sitting, with visible brush strokes, big simple shapes and one warm accent. It feels affectionate, unhurried and local. What makes it this style is the loaded brush: you can see the paint, not photographic detail.
