Gilroy Showers

11x14 Oil on Panel, Plein air Gilroy Garden. I must qualify my "plein air",I did the block in and started with the sky when it started to rain so I packed it up and finished it up at home. I did have the opportunity to talk with Stu and Laura which made this rainy painting session well worth it !

Comment by Ann Turner on April 4, 2014 at 15:43: Michael We wish you could join us also. I would love to watch you create from scratch in plein air mode. The day at Gilroy was supposed to be painting demos in the Garden with 9,000 people attending. But we had a rainy adventure instead with Stu getting up early to do rounds before driving and locking his phone in the car. I also had adventure because the security pulled me over and gave me an escort because he thought I was trying to sneak in. Then the rain and no people to demo for. All included in the fun of plein air painting !

Comment by Ann Turner on April 4, 2014 at 11:16: Thank you Linda,Cristina and Ruby for your encouragement. I am trying to get myself out and about to paint but I find it a little intimidating. I just am trying to be brave and not worry about success each plein air experience.
