97 Degree Day at Pinchot Sate Park by Larry Lerew

"Pinchot Mooring 2" by Larry Lerew
#13-07-14
Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas 12" x 36"
en Plein Air July 18, 2013 about 97 degrees heat
at Pinchot State Park Boat Launch #2

Had a great time painting with 5 others from the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters this morning at Gifford Pinchot State Park. We all hoped we could beat the heat by starting early and it did help some. We all painted from shady spots but as the sun moved higher we were cooking. By noon we all called it a day and I made some small finishing touches in my studio. This is the largest painting I completed using only a cut credit card as a palette knife. I learned a lot and want to try this again but maybe on a cooler day.

Nice Larry. I love the panorama format. Using a credit card, sure is easier for cleanup than brushes!
