I plan my plein air locations around my schedule each day, and today I had to drop off a painting at the Rice Gallery. I took advantage of this and stopped by my favorite local hay bale field in Overland Park. The bales were still out, so I set up for a small painting according to my available time. I forgot my favorite sketch journal, and only had a pen I do not like (le pen), so I skipped the drawing and got right in the paint. It is always when I'm in the field that I remember that I should have topped off my palette! Yet again, I still need sap green and yellow ochre! Arghhh! Another day, another lesson. Maybe I'll do it before the next time I use this pochade box.....! Painting number 1640 in 1640 days. Wow, the time flies by!
Beautiful painting. They are busy baling hay along the Rhine here, too. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
