A Beautiful Day!

This little 9x12 linen on panel piece was finished up at Pineview Reservoir en plein air!  I got together with my painting gang for our first day out this spring.  As I have been telling you, my paintings are in transition right now.  I'm really playing with heavier paint, more palette knife, a more abstract process.  This was my chance to apply all my new tools to some field studies.  This is a little quiet piece, but I love the repetition of planes and the play of warms and cools.  I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoyed painting it :)
