Yesterday was Plein Air Thursday. But I didn’t have time to go to the location where the group was painting so I decided to go up in the Shenandoah National Park to the Dickey Ridge overlook and paint for a few hours. It’s such a lovely drive and so hard to believe that it is only 5 miles from my house.
This is the view I selected for the painting and the start of the piece.
And these next few shots are the progress I made throughout the next hour or so.
By the time I left I felt as if I were about 90% done with the painting. I will touch it up a little and then it will go down to Delilah’s where hopefully someone will see it and want to take it home.
Tomorrow I will tell you about the best part of painting at Dickey Ridge yesterday…
The Studio 
LibertyTown here in Fredericksburg is having a juried plein aire show for July. You should enter!!
I’ll check it out. Thanks-
