Week one of painting




First week into "rewirement" and here are the results of my first real day out painting on location. I'm going to try and post everything I paint without editing out what I'd rather not show just so I can stay honest about the process. It was a beautiful day to paint as I joined a few other fellow plein air painters in Springfield, on the Willamette River. Here are my first two paintings (done on location) and a third painting I did once I got home. Interesting how different the two paintings of the same place are (one done on location, one done at home later). I don't want to get too crazy with liking or disliking how any of my paintings turn out, hoping, instead, to stay in a playful/learning place with the process.
