Finally back out in the field behind an easel. it was so great to look out the window this morning and see sweet sunshine! i dashed out the door eager to paint in Swan Quarter marina and saw this boat sitting on mirror smooth water. it was nice to push the paint around again. i discovered today the secret to doing dock poles. instead of using sap green as the base color (like i used in the treeline) i used some toned down viridian. keeps the poles from fading into the tree colors. then i repeated some of the viridian into the stripe on the boat.
