This little painting was started outside on the back porch of the house we were renting for the week, but I was chased inside by the rain. Â While water and oil do not mix, my water soluable oils will be affected by the rain. There was a large picture window that I could look through to continue the painting with the same scene in front of me.
While in Michigan this past June, I was able to average 3 paintings a day with a total of 26 paintings in 8 and a half days. Â For me this was a breath of fresh air after a wonderful but hard year. Â My wonderful husband was generous enough to take over during the morning before he had to work and to free me up again in the evening after dinner. Â This is the third painting of the trip on Saturday evening right before sunset. Â It was my first of many 6″ by 8″ landscape studies.
