I decided to give it a shot for my first painting for the paint out-- the weather had been rather rainy but was clearing fast so I really thought I could pull this off-- I never seem to get to paint mountains as much as I'd like so decided to do it when halfway through the painting the wind started to blow-- HORRIBLY-- I was standing by David Montgomery and he wisely moved close to some shelter. I couldn't because I was painting with a pond in the front of me and had decided to put it in the painting- so I was stuck. My umbrella flew off- and I retrieved it and just kept painting.. It's funny- when painting outside I have developed some type of concentration that earlier in my painting years, would not have been able to keep. Also I am fortunate to have a Soltek easel that is like a rock in the wind..
I was finally able to finish..
As you can see- I pushed the drama of this mountain and I am now working on a larger version of this painting. .. I noticed that my painting is much lighter than the picture of Bristol and I really was able to see much more into the shadows than the picture shows- that's why I hate to paint from pictures.. Afterwards I tried to hang out by this cool building..
And get a little out of the wind before I started my next painting.
