Quick Visit to the Muse

I have not been painting because lots of projects have popped up and taken more time than anticipated. Isn't that always the case? The Davis train station has always been my go to when I need a jump start. It was late afternoon when I set up my easel and then started paining right away. It was hurry up from the beginning. After an hour or so, my phone went off and away I went. This was my painting and I just added the shadows of the people when I looked at it today. Sometimes I find some good things happen with rushed painting. I have been painting but it has been chairs and doors. Lots of plein air coming up with good weather and groups.

CURIOUS

. A sunny day and we went to paint wild flowers. They were disappointing. Very few and with the grasses so high from all our rain, it was difficult to paint. We were looking for carpets of wild flowers. After attempting a few sketches, I left the flowers and did this landscape which included the tree. After getting home and looking at it I added a cow for interest. We have that license.
