Stony Creek has so many views to paint, that it is hard to choose. This view last year would have shown a red house.. Painted between 3 and 6 is my best guess on the time. The first hot day and there were a lot of bugs. Sunscreen, hat, bug spray. Forget the umbrella as it was gusty. About a half hour last night in the studio to clean it up.
Love the high key here. It's also neat because it evokes painters like Hassam and his American Impressionist pals who painted up and down that very coastline.
Painting in the moment, outside, being in the open air and connecting with the light and mood of a place are what drive me to paint outside in all seasons and sometimes challenging weather conditions.
