wensday painting

this weather has been great... i went downtown yesterday to get some painting in, it was cloudy and overcast like it was going to rain. i sat up on the west end to paint the rowing club and the mill but it was one of those days , i could not get the colors to mix like i wanted and some homeless guy kept messing with me . all in all not a very good for this painter. at about 11;00 am

decided i could do no more damage so i gave up...plus it had started raining a little. i returned to my studio and guess what...the weather started clearing up...just not my day. till next time

white post road

bob carr and myself went down close to bath n c out on white post road to do some plein air painting. the weather could not have been better. this is the time of year that you have to go when you can.

everything is changing color.

more earth colors less greens. i started back with a limited palette, just red, blue , yellow with white. i started painting with this palette but over time i added more colors, but now i will stick to the limited palette.
