Springtime in Augusta Oil on panel, 14x11 Defiance Paint-Out sold |
Defiance, Missouri is one of my favorite places to paint. Each year, when the Defiance paint-out comes up during the Augusta Plein Air Festival - I start thinking of all of the wonderful places to paint! This year, I had only started to scout for a spot when I walked up the road and saw this landscape. I had only walked a block - and I knew I must paint this scene! Some days, the paint seems to just roll off the brush. When it is warm and windy, I will leave the bottom left corner unpainted until the very end - so I have a place to hold onto it when it is on my easel! This was such a wonderful day for painting - followed by a wonderful dinner with friends. Life is sweet at the Augusta Plein Air Festival! Painting number 482 in 482 days :)
Gorgeous! I admire how you go out and paint. It's something I'd love to do as well. :)
