Day 19 of the 30 in 30 Challenge

6" x 8", Oil on Board, $175

I knew today was going to be a challenging challenge ;-)... I had an appointment in Buffalo at 1:00. That cuts my painting time in half. I decided my only hope was to get out early and hope to find something to paint, quickly. I got all of my supplies in the van and headed east (since that's the only direction I can go...) One quarter of a mile down the road the fog was just beginning to lift over the valley. I pulled the van over and started setting up, knowing that the fog would lift quickly. Time constraints are one of the many aspects of plein air painting. Light plays a huge role and the entire scene can change mood and atmosphere within a matter of 15 minutes.
