In this weekly series Kelly Kane, Editor-in-Chief of Plein Air Magazine, shares a favorite painting from the current issue.
Kelly Kane’s Pick of the Week: Picnic at the Point
“My biggest challenge with plein air is figuring out how to limit my palette. I love color so much that I can overdose on it in my paintings. Being in Seattle, a lot of times when I go out, it’s gray, or layer upon layer of green. I love tonal paintings, but I have a hard time feeling satisfied when I do them. So I’m trying to push myself to search for the beautiful grays, to find that softer atmospheric painting that has a pop of color.”
