I finally got out to do some plein air painting
and it was so uplifting and fun.
A friend invited us to the Glades in Scituate;
an historic private property on the ocean that features
many barns, private homes and what was once a hotel.
The day was perfection;
no humidity, no bugs, no wind
and I didn’t forget anything!
I used a very limited palette to start;
dioxazine purple, raw umber, transparent yellow earth,
and a bit of alizarin crimson.
Last minute I added the lawn and sky.
Not sure about that, but now I’m going
to play with it in the studio.
My pal Sally Dean
and her cool new Shade Buddy umbrella
(that goes in the ground, not a clip on!)
I need to upgrade my gear!
