Winter plein air

 

It was too cold for me to stand outside with my easel and paints (although the other artists did that). Instead I just sketched from inside the car. I will go back to this park (Pamela Baker park in Eagle, Idaho) when it is warmer and paint the view of the foothills.  I sketched the geese too, but did not take a photo of that sketch.

Ths snow in the park was mostly gone, but more will come soon. It is not spring here yet. This photo shows the other artists from the back. The group was having a good time despite the wind.

Working in my studio I decided to paint a small study in color from my drawing and the photo. I plan to go back to this park wen it is warmer.
