58 F sunny, then clouds.
#731 Hudson River @ Stillwater 3-17-16 11x14
My scene.
My spot and set up, just a few feet from my van.
Again, it took me a long time and a lot of driving around to get to this spot, I've never painted this scene, but I painted just down the road this summer. I wish I could just decide where to go and paint, but I wander, and think too much about subject, about place and all of that stuff, and the light is always different, so I fell back on a familiar type of bridge over the Hudson picture, even though I wanted a town scene with sunshine on a white painted building. In all fairness I looked, but didn't find the exact example of what I was looking for, so maybe I have more bridges in my system to do, and maybe that's just fine. There is tomorrow (or the next day if it rains!)
