I am currently on my travels and I'm at present staying in the Connemara area of Ireland. It has been cloudy for days but finally the sun came out yesterday so I immediately got my gear ready to go plein air painting.
It was a beautiful evening last night and I stopped of in this location near the village of Ballyconneely and painted this view.
'Evening Light, Ballyconneely', 9" x 12" (approx), oil on canvas, painted en plein air.
I absolutely love painting outdoors and I think there is something special about painting landscapes that I have travelled to rather than just taking photos. Plein air painting is a great way of creating a visual painting diary of places I have visited, I love the idea of travelling the world and documenting it through my paintings.
This is a photo of my pochade box easel I had set up yesterday for outdoor painting, it's perfect for travelling with.
I hope you enjoyed this blog post, I have more paintings on my website: samuelearp.com
wow nice work!

Very beautiful! How much time did you have to work on that given the fading light?

Thanks @arayebrown and sorry for the late reply, I have limited internet access at the moment. I painted this in about 2 hours. Plein air painting teaches you to paint quickly especially because of the changing light.

Very nice work @samuel-earp-art, upvoted & resteemed. Do you use a photo tripod for your painting work?

Thanks @photo-trail and sorry for the late reply, I have limited internet access at the moment. Yeah, my pochade box mounts on a camera tri-pod. It's a great set up for travelling with.

Is that your DIY or a box has a screw mount by design?

Beautiful work, working towards being able to do this myself. Would be awesome to just travel the globe and paint all the places I go.

No problems, we all have lives outside of the internet. Although it's becoming less apparent these day lol.

Thanks @leoplaw, I will be in Guernsey after Ireland and I'm heading there next week. I'll be there for a few weeks and then we plan to stop off somewhere on the way home to New Zealand, but I am not sure where yet...stay tuned :)
