Will probably paint this one larger at some point. I took some good ref pics while there, and the simple act of being there and painting has stuck the scene and atmosphere into my mind. So larger might work with this one.
I used an umbrella today, which I don't normally do, but I needed to protect the canvas and palette. Including a pic of the set-up and subject.

Wow Wow Wow ... the feeling is really sensitive Bill. You have really turned a corner and doing something really special here.... more!!!!
Thanks Frank. This one felt really good, despite the conditions. When I started with my shadow areas, just roughing them in, I liked it.
I appreciate the comments.
I agree with Frank, this represents a seismic shift in your work. Absolutely fabulous.
Your plein air paintings are wonderful. Don't stop.
Nice plug for Walmart, Bill! (I kid, I kid...but since I work there and have to touch those danged bags constantly, I noticed.) You are a trouper! It couldn't have been much fun being rained on while you worked. But the results show it was more than worth it! I love this little spring and mini waterfall. The colors you've chosen are just sublime for setting the mood and tone of this beautiful painting! I also wonder what this little spot will look like in the spring?...
Bill this is stupendous! You are truly devoted to go out in this weather and paint.
