Spent the last weekend
en plein air & completed three oils, a pastel & a small watercolor. Sherrill & I went to
Letchworth State Park & stayed in a cabin, with indoor water, fridge, etc, so we were quite comfortable eating & sleeping. The weekend consisted of several sudden showers & misty sunlight, so we toggled between indoors & out. Caught only once by the weather, we were drenched-every bit of equipment, palette & brush was floating, but oils are forgiving, & the cabin was nearby. The deluge was followed by sun and a breeze, so our assorted articles dried on the big porch. My french box easel appreciated the moisture, all the sliding fittings and connectors are much tighter now.
The best part was painting down behind the cabin in total natural beauty & light-and being watched by a deer for a long morning. She thought she was hidden behind a tree, 50 yards away.I think we were her first artists, on the other hand, her fawn may have been just born & camouflaged in the leaves right near us.
On the negative side, I managed to ruin the digital camera & will not be posting images until that is resolved! I really liked that camera, & will buck modern times to try to have it fixed.
