A Sweet Morning at Little Sugar Creek

It is always delightful to paint at Little Sugar Creek in

Freedom Park...so many perfect scenes to paint 

everywhere you look.

Our plein air group is painting there this Tuesday and 

I am already thinking of what I want

to paint.  The bridge over the

duck pond is a strong contender but I will

wait to check out the light.

Rocks for the Traveling Minister

Our plein air group met at the Presbyterian Church again this week and we had

another cloudy day.  I decided to paint the group of

rocks that the traveling ministers used before the

church building existed.  Some weeds had grown into
a low place in a rock and I added some blooms....not sure if
the flowers will stay.

I prefer to paint scenes with a defined light but a cloudy day is always good practice.  I forgot an

 important color for mixing darks and also a gadget to connect the

easel part to the tripod.  An interesting morning!
