Not bad aye.
and my view....
in case you wondered what the huge leafed plant is, it's a Gunnera, they love sitting by water, just like me.
It didn't really matter which way I turned, I still had a great view.
But at the end of the day, I had decided to sketch and paint the Lake,
so here are some pics I took of my progress during the afternoon.
I always do an initial sketch to get an idea of what the scene will look like on paper
(as it happens I deviated slightly from this view, but intend to go back and paint this angle another time)
A few visitors walked by and stopped to chat, which was nice.
In particular one little girl with her mother said how much she liked my painting,
which being a concertina style, absolutely fascinated the little girl.
You never know, I may have made an impression on her and she'll end up
an Artist one day...now wouldn't that be great.
Having to wait for paint to dry meant I needed to complete and painting
in my home studio and with a matt/mount board it says to me I had a good day.

It's amazing how putting a mat board on a painting elevates it from a sketch to a masterpiece!!!!
It's lovely Ann and just the perfect weather. Hoping so much for an Indian summer this year.
Beautiful, Ann. I love that work!

I had only thought about Indian Summers the other day. Here's hoping :)

Lovely art and outdoors too!
Just lovely! The painting and the setting. Aren't you the lucky one to have such a beautiful place to create! :)
A perfect painting spot! I love the paintings! All the different shades of green are gorgeous.
Ann, I like your painting of the scene much better than it looks in the photo. Nicely done!
