Summer 100 (57 of 100)
"South"


5 x 5 (plein air)
Not my usual finish but there is an explanation. I took the boat out to the middle of Lake Weir. It's about three and half miles across. I anchored and decided I would just do quick sketches of each direction on the compass - south, east, west and north. This one is south. The biggest problem is that there was some decent wind out there and therefore the boat was rocking. Its not that easy to put a stroke where you want it under those conditions. I did east and then decided I really didn't want to do anymore. Oh well. It's one hundred paintings for heavens sake. You're not going to like every one.
