Even though today's forecast called for rain, I decided to see if I could squeeze a quick painting in before the sky opened up. I am so glad I did - the sun broke out and stayed with me and my plein air painting group at Cider Hill Farm! I did a 12" x 9" pastel painting of a beautiful tree and house on top of a hill...I planned to paint some chickens in the foreground but they were very uncooperative - maybe next time!
