'Susquehanna Blues'
Plein Air
Plein Air
Oil
6 x 8
I never thought this painting was going to happen today. It
was my first time to paint in Marysville along the
Susquehanna River, and I had the directions written down
to help me find my way. Unfortunately, the directions did
not include the fact that a critical road was blocked due to
construction (and my GPS decided not to work).
Miraculously, after back-tracking and
making a few u-turns, I was able to find the painting spot!
Because I had an appointment at 11:30, and
didn't get to start painting until 10:00, that meant I had
only a little over an hour to paint and clean up and head
back down the road. I think that worked to my advantage
with this little painting - I didn't have time to 'fuss', and I
am actually happy with the results.
Here are some of the other painters at work - everyone
was working intensely on their paintings.

very nice Claire! You definitely captured the atmosphere over the river this morning.
I turned around to come over to your spot and realized you had gone already - glad you found your way there.
