Early Morning at Mount Pleasant

Early Morning at Mount Pleasant
Oil on panel, 14x11
Augusta Plein Air Festival

Oh my goodness - what a day!  Up at 3:40am to leave the house at 4:40, I arrived at the Mount Pleasant Winery to set up for the live broadcast of the Channel 2 Fox News in St. Louis.  Augusta is being featured - and some of us artists were set up and painting the sunrise from the south decks overlooking this amazing view!  From this location, we rushed over to Washington to paint along the riverfront, eating lunch while the art was displayed at John G's Bier Deck.  With only 45 minutes between this and the sunset quick paint at the Nobeleis Winery tonight - it was a very busy day!  And to think....I was actually planning on a nocturne paint tonight as well!  I must be crazy!  Painting number 479 in as many days :)
