We had a small crit session last night and I brought this
one out for the final inspection. So today I added a tree on the left side to
help break up the rock wall and pumped up the contrast a little more in the
cliffs. Also I lightened up the water
and put more reflections in from the rock wall to the right.
On Monday I’ll be back up at the cabin. The Midway Art Association is having a week
long plein air event, which I’ll be participating in and since the cabin is but
a stones throw away, it makes more sense to just stay in the area. I have about six canvases and frames ready to
go and a particular red barn that I want to paint and a few bottles of red wine
to keep me going!
Actually some of the artists in the crit group will be
staying up there with me, as we search around for subject matter. All paintings have to be in by Saturday for
judging, then on Monday and Tuesday they have quick four hour plein air events
within the different towns. Seems like even more pressure to get a painting
done.
