Hey Friends, I thought I was in Buchanan but the proprietor told me I was in Botetourt. Doesn't matter to me, both are equally gorgeous. But I DO love this particular estate.
I am happy with the painting above but would still like to put a few horses in.
It is hard making that dry, goldish-brown color of the fields.
This painting is a lot better now. It looked so simple, that is why I choose to do it with the left over oils on my palette. But, NO, it was not.
The light was really changing fast so I quit. Will finish later.
There are 2 rose bushes up there in the darkest area of the photo.
And today I went with my plein air group to Sinkland Farm just outside of Christiansburg, Va.
We had a beautiful day for plein air as you can see from the photos.
I choose this vignette with the truck and cows! Fun except a hundred vehicles driving over the dry gravel road and kicked up a dust storm every time. We are so very dry here in SW Va. and it's time to worry about forest fires.
And I do not know what this little structure is for but I LOVE IT. Susan the owner has put out a lot of cute little things for the kids to interact with. They have tons of children come on school buses from every where. And they love to SQUEAL.
Can't wait to go back !
Happy Trails
