We had our first painting session at the Howard County Living Farm Heritage Museum. This a beautiful site in western Howard County, with a white farm house, rolling fields just beginning to turn green, long vistas to distant fields and trees, and some interesting building remains. It’s also quite extensive, so there are a million choices for subjects. Again, the weather was uncertain: while the rain was gone, the sky was still overcast and the ground soggy. We’re sure getting a lot of practice with painting mist and puddles! Four of us were there painting, and a fifth person arrived later to reconnoiter and take some photos. I decided to build on my success in Albuquerque and again dispensed with an underpainting. The result is “The Clearing Storm,” which I’ve posted here.
