Thank you Donna . . . yeah, I am very lucky even though the memories are bittersweet.This sure has the look of a plein air. Very nice painting and you're lucky to have it for the memories.
Hey Bongo, yep, a big passing cloud darkened the background for a short time and I tried to remember it, and paint it, as fast as possible.That strip of sunlight makes it.
Thanks Perry, fast and loose was the only way I could paint plein air.I like that this is loose and not a lot of detail.
You captured the light very well.
Thanks Terri, I lucked out with the values.Beautiful. Shadows and light.
Thanks sno . . . it was a hot day AND with wind and the brushes turned into clubs with paint balls on the end.Good job. Acrylics on a hot day or in the wind can sure be challenging!![]()
It's great that you can feel that Arty because that 's the way it is for me. Thanks.I love the busy-ness of this! So much going on and all the lose brushwork. It is just my kind of thing. It has so much charisms in the mark-making itself, like you mastered being able to make an impression of a familiar, loving scene that means a lot to you. I can feel that. Great colors here. Love every squiggle!![]()

Thank you Iain, your kind comment, and the others, have encouraged me to post some more that I did at that place and time.I concur with Perry and Artyczar. I love the looseness - the movement and palette. It's beautiful.
A belated thank you, Patrick. I always look forward to your insightful comments.The energy of your session is very evident in the piece. The colors are vibrant and working for convincing light.![]()
