brisk air -- go paint stanley

Stanley Branch 12 x 9 acrylic on watercolor paper available

After being cooped up inside it felt great to get out in the sunshine. Autumn is approaching, Missouri temps are in the lower 50s. Dressed in layers--my warmest shirt, overalls, and hat-- I settled on the Stanley Creek that meanders along the Tonnar property.

In the blowing wind I used a bungee cord to hold the watercolor pad to the easel. I finished the painting between 12:30 and 2:30 pm Saturday affternoon. Thanks to my friend who shot this clip. click on triangles above to view each one.
