Paintings of Landscapes by Shane McDonald

Shane has enjoyed painting "en plein air" (in the field) abroad and in local Georgia and southeastern landscapes since 1998. The plein air paintings were usually 16 x 20 inches or smaller, but occasionally, Shane would work from photographs, sketches, and his imagination to create larger studio landscape paintings.
