Today was the big Artists on Location event in Garrison, NY. I was expecting the skies to clear, but that didn’t happen, and this was painted in the rain. Fortunately, I had my big “ShadeBuddy” umbrella with me, and the winds were calm enough that I could use it!

The huge sailboat off in the distance came by at just the right time, and provided the perfect element to scale the painting and give it a focal point.

Lovely painting! I even like the rainy look to it which adds another element. I can’t imagine me painting out in the rain. I love plein air, but call it quits when the rain falls on my wc.

Something to say?
