What a beautiful day for the Private Estate paint! The old farmhouse and barns were high on a peak, overlooking the river bottom land, surrounded by rolling hills. When I saw the way the trees and sky reflected in the water - I had to paint it! For the best view, I climbed down an embankment into the tall grass, trying to avoid the poison ivy as best I could. I first did a pen and ink pre-sketch, then jumped right to the color. I didn't even paint my sketch on the panel. No need, I had figured out my plan in ink. I've been doing this since Josh's workshop, and I think it saves time painting. I know, hard to believe, but I can jump right in with confidence having worked out those issues first. And, it only takes 10 minutes. This painting makes 1566 in 1566 days :)
