Tahiti Sunset Oil by Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

TAHITI SUNSET
Oil Painting on Linen Canvas 24 x 36

by Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism
Painted partially en plein air

Tahiti is a mystical place at all times of day. The colours change constantly, the intensity and brightness of the colour is very difficult to believe when translated to canvas. I look forward to many more paintings of Tahiti capturing the mountains and water at different times of day. Truly a paradise.

Tahiti, French Polynesia Paul Gauguin Pastel Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

Exploring Tahiti, French Polynesia

 Plein air pochade - Pastel on Japanese Kasuiri Kozo Bark Hand Laid Paper©copyright Phyllis O'Shields 2010

This pochade was done on a beach in Tahiti, French Polynesia.  The same land that Paul Gauguin painted on.
 These first studies are quickly done to become familiar with my surroundings. Later days produced plein air seascapes, figurative studies  and landscapes.
 Later this week I will begin posting my series of Figurative French Polynesian Goddesses.  You can see today the same things that Gauguin saw in his paintings, a land very much unchanged.
Tahiti  offers a true Paradise today just as in Gauguin’s time, making it perfect for the artist to backpack into the wild mountains or paint along the lagoons and beaches. The colours are unlike  any other group of islands.  .

When working  en plein air in the islands  I like to use rough Kasuiri, Kozo Bark hand laid paper from Japan which has texture that adds to the environment on the beach. Often I finish with a mixture of sand and bugs on the paper. It is very forgiving when using en plein air.

 These sketches will be used in a series of my plein air explorations of islands recorded in journals.   They are going into a current book under construction now.

 Plein air pochade - Pastel on Japanese Kasuiri Kozo Bark Hand Laid Paper

copyright Phyllis O'Shields 2010

This pochade was done on a beach in Jamaica, Greater Antilles, Caribbean.  These first studies are quickly done to become familiar with my surroundings. The Blue Mountains are in the background. (Blue Mountain coffee, yum)
 Jamaica offers beautiful views of Paradise from the mountains and the ocean, making it perfect for artist to backpack into the wild.   .

Jamaica Greater Antilles Pastel Seascape Painting Phyllis O'Shields Contemporary Impressionism

Jamaica Greater Antilles Seascape
Pastel on Paper unmated 19 x 24 inches

  ©PhyllisO’Shields 2010

Jamaica's beaches are beautiful and private.  I visit Ocho Rios for at least  two weeks each year for plein air painting, usually in pastel. Ah, the joys of painting plein air... This was a challenge - I started early in the morning but as the morning progressed I was attacked by sand fleas... really a labor of love, but worth the effort. The next morning I went out equipped with bug spray.

 This pastel was painted at one of my favorite desolate beaches. Jamaica is beautiful in its combination of beaches with aqua water and the heavy  foliage in the Blue Mountains.
  I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed creating the painting.

Seascape Bahamas Passage Early Morning Peace by Phyllis O'Shields

This plein air painting was done early one spring morning in the Bahamas, it could have been painted  on any of the islands.  The morning's brief rain had just cooled off the air and one could still smell the rain.

Although a small painting 16 x 20 this will be used as a study for a larger painting.
One can only believe the clear light blues and greens of the water by being there to experience it. I hold painting workshops in the Bahamas twice a year.
