This is a little acrylic on canvas I painted en plein air at Andrews Farm & Winery. It was an overcast day, cool and wet… I brought a picnic blanket to sit on and paint from, but quickly realized the best view was from a standing position. So I basically held my little canvas & palette, and painted standing up… staying out of the way of the tractors! I painted it on a 12×12 canvas I had primed with yellow, as you can see from the photos. You can see the flecks of yellow poking through. And I had a turkey friend circling me looking for food while I worked which was a different experience! Couldn’t leave without filling my basket with dahlias from the field… still blooming like crazy, and you can pick-your-own at the farm.
