It was very chilly today and only a handful showed up to paint bundled in long pants, jackets and even gloves. Normally I hate to wear my rubber gloves in Florida as they sweat so, but today I was glad to have them on my hands. I will need to do a few touches on this one but mostly finished. Only a 8x11 so easy to complete in the 2.5 hr we spend.
This is the Henry Ford home which I have painted several times. I liked this angle today with the fence showing. It faces the river which is behind me to the right. Next door is the Edison home, really two connected with a trellised walk. I've painted that one too!
Although we grumble to get up early and drag all our gear to a painting site, those of us who do so love it. My favorite memories are painting plein air...sometimes a choir will sing, music wafts forth or delicious smells. Painting on a mountain in France..spectacular. I am blessed to be able to do this work.
Your enjoyment of plain air shows in your work.
