To Have and To Hold

Did this little plein air piece this morning at the local park in town. It feels good to lean more toward the impressionist side of things.

I took a large, 30" x 40", stretched canvas out yesterday afternoon in the hopes of filling it with beautiful, luscious paint. I decided on a scene of rolling hills, trees, and distant mountains. I set up my gear beside a road going to Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park and talked to quite a few folks that stopped in the road. Had my picture taken by a few also. It was a very enjoyable excursion.

I'm including some pics of the work in progress, as well as the finished painting.
