Turnback Creek

This is painted from a smaller one that I posted earlier. I painted a 6x8 off of the photos that I took at this scene, then I painted an 11x14, sold it, so painted another and this is it. This is aother 11x14 oil. I would love to go to this spot and plein air paint the scenes around it. It is such a lovely spot. I love to paint outside but I guess I am a fair weather painter. Can't be too hot, too cold, too windy, or too many bugs. Some of my painter friends don't let these things bother them and their plein air paintings are getting better and better all the time. I find it a bit difficult. Lots of equipment to move and I have a way of getting more oil paint on me than on my canvas. This is painted on a linen canvas panel.
