Sunny and Cold



It was a beautiful (but cold!) day at the Dairy Barn near Fort Mill.  Joined the Charlotte Plein Air Painters for a fun afternoon.  
My first painting looked so much better in this shot (top) than my final.  As my custom :-( , I overworked and lost those great blues and yellows.  I can try to reclaim that, but my experience has been that that only makes things look more self-conscious.

I believe there is a market for a little person to hire to just come up to you while painting outside and snatch your brush away.  Applications being accepted. Must be brutal.

The second maintains a little freshness only because I had to leave!

Good times.

I love how these little boats line up...Waiting their turns.  This is Venice, of course!
