Mules on the Field

SOLD

 

The Quick Paint tonight was at the Train Yard - the Fairfield Mules were playing football, and I was painting as fast as I could.  The rain was coming, and I was protecting my panel from a few sprinkles.  Dark clouds, thunder and lightening approached as the remnants of Helene roared in.  What an amazing sunset unfolded, after the game was called, followed by increasing rain. That was a full rainbow over the high school in Fairfield!  I finished it and framed it in the rain, thrilled with the experience of it all.  Spencer loved painting here, and he would have loved this show in the sky. Perhaps he even had a hand in it.  I'm happy this painting has a new home, too!  Painting number 5175 in 5175 days. 

Friday Night Lights in Fairfield

The Fairfield paintout is one of my very favorites!  This year, we had the unique opportunity to go out and paint their undefeated high school football team from the field! It was quite cold, but the rush of the crowd and fast pace of the game kept me moving!  I had to paint fast to get all this down during game time!  Each time the boys moved in front of me, I raced to get them painted!  As they moved up the field, I painted all else in my composition.  It was a wonderful experience and so much fun!!  This painting makes 1445 in 1445 days.  Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!
