Day 23 of the 30 in 30 Challenge

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

I've had several requests to paint at the Nannen Arboretum in Ellicottville, NY. When I got there it was very cloudy and the light was casting intermittent shadows. I set up near the Amano Hashidate Bridge and roughly painted in the scene. The sun only peeked out about once every 10 minutes and then for only about 30 seconds at a time. Shadows really complete a painting, so when they appeared I quickly sketched them in.
