This was the last day for painting anything that was worthy of entering in the show. I joined many others at the Music Meadows Ranch, an operating horse and cattle ranch/ a Dude (or Dudette) Ranch in the south part of Custer County. In particular, it is run by mostly chicks (women). A really lovely place...we had a model in the morning - a BBQ 'TexMex style' lunch (yummy) and there was a horse drawn wagon model in the afternoon, that I missed, as I left to go decide which paintings to mat and frame for the intake of the show on the next day. I had a lot of work to do and frames to probably empty for re-use - I always do.
Didn't think this painting for today was very good, I had a good vantage point, but I chose a surface size that was all wrong for the subject..anyway, had fun painting it quickly - there were ever changing sunrays underneath that tree, however, painting en plein air - there are NO EXCUSES. It's a technique that is quick and really can't be reckoned with.
