I got my paint box filled and ready to paint yesterday. This morning I’ve been out on the trail for my first location painting of the season. I started with a five x seven painting.
It felt great to hear the birds sing and hear the rustling of small animals in the tall grass, while I enjoyed the beautiful October morning.
The field that runs along the edge of the trail is so pretty in October. The weeds are waist high, all blooming with tiny flowers, touched by morning light. I enjoyed being in front of my paint box again. This is my first outdoor painting in two years, due to my struggles with ongoing PMR. I consider this morning as a victory.
Painting outdoors is so different from the studio. It is much more primitive and basic, but fun. For a long time I was a plein air painter who also did studio work. I have evolved into a studio painter who also does plein air work. I enjoy both but I have always been a better studio painter.
Country painters love the woods…..
