What’s with the meteorologists these days? It was supposed to be overcast and raining, but I awoke to brilliant sunshine and mild temperatures. After all the rain we’ve had lately, I figured the trout stream at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation would present some good plein air opportunities. The water was rushing over the rocks, and the spring greens were out in force.

This was my first chance to try my new 9×12″ Guerrilla Painter pochade box. I absolutely love it! I sat with the box on my lap. It’s got so much more palette space than the thumbox, and as a bonus, an standard 9×12″ disposable palette pad fits right in the box, making clean-up a snap.

You can see that by the time I was nearing the finish line on this painting, it became overcast and I lost my light:

My palette for this painting was:
Cadmium Yellow Lemon
Permanent Alizarin
Burnt Sienna
Ultramarine Blue Deep
Viridian
Titanium White

Lovely painting of the trout pond. I’m glad you got some plein air time after the forecast we had. Looks like a great little box to work from. Of course it needs great little hands to work with it!!

This is an awesome painting, wish I had the extra money for it. I plan on bookmarking your blog, you have great talent.

Joan, it’s been really hard to plan for plein air work these days! There doesn’t seem to be more than one hour of clear weather at a time, and that one hour window is never in the forecast….Not that it would be enough time anyway!

Gary, many thanks for your kind comments.
