plein air: mount vernon ave


11x15

Went back to Mount Vernon Ave to try again.
This time I made a loose sketch of the scene, which I think helped me try to arrange the space ... though I still overdid it somewhat: I'd like to reduce the the grass shapes to just a few large shapes.
I do like the foreground though.

Laura, I really like this one, too! It's so "watercolorish". That is now an official word:) I picture you taking off on your bike, settling down to sketch and paint and enjoying a cool breeze. Very nicely done! Happy Thursday!

Thank you, Candy! That picture is not far from the truth (in this particular case I had to drive). Makes me feel very lucky.
