Since we were going to be at the cabin this Memorial Day weekend I just knew I had to try my hand at en plein air painting.
Day 1 - I got up about 5:30 and had my car loaded and ready to head to the creek by about 6:15, ready to watch the sunrise and paint. I'm also trying to be more impressionistic in my style and it is quite freeing.
Day 2 (today) - I didn't up as early as Day 1 mainly because I knew there would not be a real sunrise. I toyed with the thought of not even trying it again but I had The Hubby bring up my regular French easel and more brushes and paints so I had to. I'm kind of happy with what happened here although I ended up wearing more of the green paint than went on the canvas. I flipped a fully loaded brush on my clean shirt. NOTE: wear painting shirt when painting, not good clothes!

I think I could get into en plein air painting, I love being outdoors. Thanks for sharing your beautiful paintings.
such beautiful work! I know how it is to want our work to become more free, its a trial of patience,
