Going camping...

Today I'm going camping, probably for the last time this year (I expect it will be too cold and dark when I get back from my trip to Italy.) I may attempt a painting. This is the last 'plein air' painting I tried:



The weather was pretty terrible that day, it started to rain not long after I began and the paint ran everywhere before I decided it was a lost cause. I worked on it quite a lot when I got home so it's basically unrecognisable from its nascent state on that cold and wet day in Ardnamurchan! I like to think of it as an 'authentic' landscape though - it has sand and rain and seawater all mixed in with the paint!
