Country Crab Apple
8" x 8" oil on boardThe first of SEVEN paintings that I completed in three days during my annual painting retreat to Highland County, VA.
I told myself this was going to be kind of a warmup. I asked for and received a new travel easel that if you've read this blog before, you've heard me talk about getting for years. So this was a test run, but I started to like what I was seeing, so I finished it out.
The new easel and tripod worked great and they definitely had a positive impact on the paintings I completed during this trip. Setup with my old easel was ten minutes of fury with parts breaking and balancing things so my panels didn't fall out on the ground. Now, I snap the pochade box onto the tripod and I'm ready to paint. There's no way I could have completed seven paintings in three days with my previous setup. So thanks!
Love the oranges with the yellow and green
