Almost as good as painting!
It doesn’t get much better than painting outdoors, or (en plein air). One of the few sensations to top it is when you sell your painting wet right off the easel! In a recent trip to colonial Williamsburg while painting off the main road, I had the good fortune to find a buyer for my painting in progress. The client agreed to let me finish it up in my studio in which I would ship it to her in Pa. upon completion. The reason being that after almost two hours into the painting the picket fence was now in complete shadow as the rest of the painting done earlier was painted in direct light at about 10 am. In hindsight I would’ve eliminated the fence as it doesn’t add much to the composition visually. (16″ x 20″ oil on linen)
