Seven Bridges Paint-Out

In the last 45 minutes of time left in the paint-out, I headed out to paint just one more painting!  The late afternoon light was beautiful as it hit this landscape!  With only a fast sketch, I started laying paint quickly with large, loose strokes. In such a short time, there can be no planning, I simply responded to the scene before me with paint. This is a great exercise in getting to the "meat" of what draws me to paint in the first place!  I should do this more often, because I like the spontaneous feel of this painting!  Painting number 1016 in 1016 days :)
