One day during my wanderings at Wayne Plein Air Festival  I ran into a little mill creek at the junction of two roads. It was a perfect site with parking, shade, light, water and woods. My idea of a good time. I painted the piece above early in the morning from the banks of the rock-filled stream. I was working on unifing color and capturing moving, sunlit water…which was a real challenge.

After a little break, I turned my easel around and worked on a smaller backlit woods scene. This piece was awarded the Gamblin Award by Juror John Cosby, but sadly disappeared from the gallery during the month-long show….  ;o(

One more slight turn of the easel and I had another interesting scene to paint! 3 great views in one spot and I could have come back and found 10 more if I tried. But the next day called for new inspiration and I headed off in a different direction…
