5:16 PM: it was a perfect day for plein air painting. so i went to the creek and made 2 watercolors in a shady spot, slightly different than where i sat for the previous 3 or 4 plein air. the light at 3pm is absolutely stunning, and i’m so engaged in what i’m doing that time literally flies by.
the long narrow one was painted on a piece of watercolor paper i prepared with a tan wash many years ago. i found it stacked with other similarly tinted watercolor paper taped ti cardboard surfaces and ready to go.
i’m hoping we’ll get more days like today, because i’m really in the right space to do more of these!
