At the end of June I was lucky enough to take a plein air painting class with the talented Kami Mendlik. The class of 16 worked on finding the big shapes and seeing the color of light. I have been trying to lock in what I learned; trying to hone my eye for color and value.

I had a lot of fun painting this. I packed up and headed out at the last minute on a week day evening. I had to choose my subject fast so I would not run out of light. A couple of deer bounded by about an hour into painting.

This was very challenging as a plein air and I am not entirely sure I am happy with it, but I do like parts of it. A woman walked by when I was about half done. She stopped looked at my canvas and said, "Well, it is not as bad as what I would do.... uh uh I mean it is better than anything I could do." I have so been this woman before aka foot in mouth syndrome.
