Great Chattahoochee Paint Out

"Early Morning Gathering"

12" x 24"

Wow, I had signed up to participate in the “Great Chattahoochee paint out” and due to numerous other obligations I only had time to join them to paint one painting “Early Morning Gathering”. What a great morning we had, a wonderful time to see so many of my Plein Air Buddies, watch some fantastic art be produced, take a much needed break and somehow I managed to pull off Third place at the show! Go figure!

My goal was to express the sparkle of evening light and the warm breeze of summer. I kept the composition simple yet atmospheric. I was in hopes of catching the gentle motion of the wind blowing her main, the soft sound of her grazing and the feeling of being in her presence.
I truly enjoyed my time working on this piece.
