I'm so happy my effort on this Quick Paint was awarded tonight at the White Mule Winery! Loving this whole scene from behind the barn, I backed up until I could see the entire space in front of my easel. Farm equipment drove past me - kicking up dust, as did a gorgeous team of horses with a shiny red wagon! The horses were off to give wine country rides, so I couldn't include them, too! The best advice on a quick paint is to narrow your field and simplify, of which I did neither! It was a bit of a struggle as I realized I had many masses to paint - and the minutes were ticking by! I almost bit off more than I could chew on this two hour painting - and still, it was super fun! In fact, it was exhilarating! There is something about a real painting challenge that revs me up and gets my blood pumping. I do so love plein air painting in all it's forms! Painting number 4371 in 4371 days.
