A Brisk Wind

“A Brisk Wind”        5” x 7”          Pastel         $50         © Sharon Lewis

            I painted this scene on a very windy day in Maine. I had to weight my easel down with multiple large rocks to keep it from capsizing, but I loved every minute of it. The sun was shining and the wind was cool; I could hear the mother ducks below me moving their tiny chicks into the cove where they were warmed and sheltered from the wind. There were gulls flying above checking me out to see if I had something more edible than my sticks of pastel. It's all of this that I love when I paint outdoors.

            Happy Weekend!
