plein air today / by Philip Tarlow

4:18 PM: i knew the wind was forecast to pick up significantly this afternoon. so i went up to the creek at noon, and as it turned out i was just able to complete the second plein air watercolor before the wind kicked in, and now gusing to 40mph. that would have made it impossible to sit by the creek and paint.

the tempreatures will drop tonight and into sunday-monday. we’ll see if they rise to the high 50’s as the end of october approaches, or if today was my last plein air day until spring 2023.
