'Walter Peak', New Zealand - Plein Air Painting and Photography
I painted this last year outdoors (en plein air). The mountain is Walter Peak which is in prominent view from the lake front in Queenstown, New Zealand where I live. It was a cold winter's day when I painted this.
Walter Peak, 10" x 12", oil on canvas, painted en plein air.
This is Walter Peak, I took this photo on the day I went plein air painting.
I have more paintings on my website at: samuelearp.com
Beautiful! Nice painting and I like the photo even better.
Thanks @lig007 :)
Beautiful painting of this amazing scene has literally been decades since i have been home and made it down there but still remember the natural beauty there
Thanks @tattoodjay, Queenstown sure is a beautiful place :)
Great style you've got Samuel.. Really like this painting
Thanks @outerground, my outdoor painting style in much looser than my studio work.
I've been having a look at your work online.. very impressive landscapes and although I do like your studio craft, I absolutely love your live studies. They remind me a little bit of some of my Dad's painting ! which I am of course a big fan of.. Thanks again for sharing.. would you be willing to sell one of your outdoor studies for STEEM ?

Thanks @rightwithin :)
Great painting and what a stunning place to live. Must be a Mecca for Plein Air painters.
It absolutely is, especially Glenorchy which is about 45 minutes away from Queenstown, brilliant for plein air painting.
Interesting parallele to see photo and a painting @samuel-earp-art. Thank you. Upvoted, resteemed & DPS.
Thanks @photo-trail :)
How many paintings do you produce, roughly each week / month? You seem to be quite busy.
It depends, my studio paintings often take weeks, however my plein air (outdoor) paintings I paint in a few hours.
Which do you prefer more, studio or plein air?
Your interpretation is beautiful. Nice work. Thanks for the post 🐓🐓
Thanks @mother2chicks :)
I admire the artist that can do what they love and make a living . Are you one of those people? 🐓🐓
Love the painting... you seem to have made it with a few simple strokes! What a wonderful shot of the scene...
Thanks @ackhoo :)
You're most welcome! :)
