Plein-Air Painting. For the first time I painted a scene outdoors. Well, not a scene, but a cow, or, rather, a combination of cows and a bull. I went with Edwina and her Wednesday crew (and Liz from Fridays) to Dot's farm in Pembroke. We had a wonderful day! I decided to paint just a cow as it would be much easier than painting a whole scene in a couple of hours. This was not really a stupendous idea, since the cows kept moving about; hence, a combination of cows and a bull. I also have a few additional projects in the works, so I knew this was a one sitting painting. In any case, I had such an amazing time, that I will definitely "plein-air paint" again. I may even venture down to Dot's farm to paint another "scene". I just wish I had taken my camera to take pictures of her turkey, Frank, her chickens, her donkey, Pedro, her frog/snake/turtle pond, and all her beautiful bovines! Also, her husband's old Ford roadster and 1929 Woody would have made fabulous subjects.
I looked online for a link to Dot's farm, but couldn't find one. She resides at 58 West Elm Street in Pembroke. Dot was an amazing hostess, and her daughter, Jenn, made us a delicious lunch and helped her mom immensely, too!!
