Love this. The easel by the tree gives it a strange feeling, like you’ve included yourself in the painting.

Well-spotted, Brett! We were all dotted around the area, painting various angles.

Superbly controlled, wonderful looseness to this stunning Painting Shirley. I love the way you've added the dashes of blue in the sky.

Really nice work

There is a wonderful "plein air" energy here. You can tell this was started on-site—it has a spontaneity and honesty that you just can't replicate in a studio. A standout piece from the group session!
