I attended a WSLP paint out today. I am member of this prestigious club exclusive to 40 members and very hard to get in. I believe I was juried in 10 years ago, maybe more. It's been around since the early 20th century. One of the oldest plein air organizations in the US. Check the website out if you like. www.wslp.org. There are some awesome members.
I didn't have much time this morning since Tristan was with me, I think an hour or so, but this is what I managed to do by pushing some paint around. First time out in plein air since last spring, I think. It was crazy cold for May, windy and threatening to rain at any time, but me and 6 others managed to endure the weather and painted some of the scenes around Green Spring Gardens. I used a brush, and it was a nice change. I think I'll stick to it for a while. This is an 8 x 8 and I started with a number 8 flat brush and didn't use anything smaller till the very end.

This is one of my favourite paintings of all times. Very sensitive and inviting... Intimate perhaps is best. The painting was immediately admired by all and sold in just a few days, as obviously its appeal was shared by many.
