Over the past few months, I have been doing quite a bit of
plein air paintings. For those who may not be familiar with this term, “En
plein air” is a French expression which means "in the open air," and
is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors or "from
life." I am therefore, rapidly creating an inventory of smaller canvases and canvas wrapped boards.
Many artists have large studios or sufficient storage space. I have neither –
maybe one day.
Following the example of a well-known artist, I have set up
an online Etsy Shop as a way to make available my small plein air studies
rather than letting them accumulate too quickly.
In some cases these are studies for larger paintings. Others were created in the field as a way to
quickly capture that special moment in time and place. You will also find small to
medium-size studio paintings that I created in a one-day session to satisfy a
moment of inspiration. These are mostly unframed canvases; however, some may be
on gallery wrap (no frame needed) or have been framed to be able to exhibit in
shows.
These field studies and studio paintings are smaller
original paintings, painted in either oil or acrylic and are being made
available at very affordable prices. Most of these paintings are for sale
unframed unless otherwise noted. This allows the customer to frame the painting
to fit their specific home decor.
The name of my Etsy Shop is Alan Zawacki Fine Art on Etsy.
Here are a few of the pieces that I just recently posted on
the Etsy site... to see more information about them, please click on my Etsy
