This is a small oil sketch done Plein Air (outside in one sitting) at Sand Point State Park boat basin. I did this back in November in about 2 hours. I set up an easel on one of the docks. I was with Rob Brennan, another painter from New Jersey. The weather cooperated and was not too windy, which is usually the biggest problem painting in the great outdoors, though not the only problem. Bugs, dogs, wind, rain and snow all make it a challenge. The skill from observing from life and painting is one of the most important for improvement and development.
