Plein Air painting in Carnation

"View from the Pasture" Gouache, 6" x 6" in a
Stillman and Birn Beta sketchbook.

Yesterday, I spent a lovely few hours sharing a pasture with my horse Percy, with me painting and him grazing. I’ve always loved painting like this, it’s both the companionable and peaceful.

I’m currently experimenting with different ways of capturing massed green shapes in a landscape. With this little painting I feel like I’m finally making some good headway.
