This exercise just reinforces how important it is to paint from life. I remembered the scene, the subtle early spring colors, and the light that day before it rained. Above is the 8"x10" study.
I will post the studio piece in my next blog.

Painting the Big Picture
I have had to be away from my easel and my blog for a while due to aging parent issues. Gettting back to my studio yesterday made me happy. It was fun to get back to my easel. I decided to work on a studio piece using an old plein air study from a NC paint out. That is the only reference I had to work with. I had to use the information that was there and then use my imagination as well as my knowledge from years of painting outdoors as reference. Thus far I am pleased with it.
"Done Smokin' ", oil, Amy Evans. 8"x10"
