I finally got outside to paint my first en plein air!! Even if it was only in my backyard!!!lol
I learned that its a problem when the sun is at your back - i had a hard time SEEING the paint in my canvas. Had to try blocking the light. I used the palette Richard mentioned in the June workshop..had a bit of trouble getting my greens the hue & wanted & I think I should have gone darker with the shadows. Your critiques are most welcome.

Lori this is painterly and looser ! Because of the time limit and fighting the elements plain air paintings have energy that is exciting. Great first "time out" Continue to enjoy, Laura tells me it is addictive
