Right after check in, I headed out to scout the streets of Carmel. With the golden morning light on this place - I simply could not resist it! I set up on the patio off the Monon Trail, and started to paint. When light is fleeting, I mark those passages first with paint. I want to capture those true colors before they fade into mid-day. I was standing in a small patch of shade under a small tree, so I had to keep shifting to my right just to keep panel and palette shaded. It was a lovely morning spent painting this local icon. This painting won a Merit Award at Carmel on Canvas, and now has a new home with the owners! I love painting Carmel, Indiana! Painting number 3168 in 3168 days.
