8″ x 6″ oil on canvas
This was my perfect plein air painting day. I stood in the shade of a row of cotton wood trees in a deserted field and the only disturbance was a small group of black tail deer and a bald eagle. I did three paintings and even put my head down on my pack and dozed a bit before starting the last one of the day. A really lovely relaxing day.
This was the first and worst painting of the day.

Bill, I love your paintings from this paint out. I am just trying oils out (have mostly done watercolors) and don’t understand how you do oils plein aire….it takes so long for them to dry! Nice work, and I loved your description of your perfect painting day!
I love your use of negative space. Great tree.
