Enjoyed some plein air Oil painting time today at Arlington Court, National Trust - as you see, my subject was the pathway in the gardens towards the conservatory. Very warm weather, so I was more than pleased to set up the easel under the wisteria, nature’s shade. When the canvas was covered with paint, it was time to pack away, til the next time, when I’ll continue working on this painting.
I took a few photos, all the same scene, but it was a bit tricky with the dappled light playing tricks on the camera.
Hopefully the next time I go over there, I’ll be able to complete this painting. The thing with plein air Oil painting is that either you paint all in one session, or you split the process up a bit and wait for layers to dry in between.

That's nice that you are back at Arlington Court and you found a nice shady place with a great view for your painting.
Thanks Eileen, it was a very relaxing time :)
Lovely setting! Can't wait to see your finished painting!
It looks like a wonderfully peaceful setting in the shade of the Wisteria and the painting's coming along beautifully. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
Robin….This view is one of my favourites at Arlington :)
John….yes, a very peaceful setting. A few visitors walked by and stopped to chat, which was also nice.
