Day 40 of 100

This photo is so dark. Rocks in water is something I want to do better so I worked on that first today. I painted at Silverwood Park. Northstar Watermedia was having a plein air event. I did not really interact with the other painters but it was nice to be surounded by others doing the same activity. I felt less odd. I could not decide what else should go in this painting, and then a group of women with toddlers came by. The way toddlers squat to pick things up off the ground is cute, and probably better for your back and easier to keep your balance.
The wind and sun were wearing me out. I needed a break. The park building has a place to buy food so I bought coffee and walked the path through the woods to a lovely gazebo next to an oak tree. I added some leaves to my painting from yesterday.
Oak leaves in the sunlight are actually close to white. I struggle to represent light and shadow. Always more to do. Never boring.
