31. I'd like to do some "live" landscapes, but in this part of the world

Tue Dec 3, 2019, 08:00 PM

Dec 2019

it's pretty difficult for at least half the year (I'm not keen on painting in the snow). Also, all of these were done as assignments for a painting class that meets (indoors) only once a week. Maybe next summer I'll try working outside on my own outside of the class, but I'm not hopeful if it rains all the time again like it did this year.
