Cottonwoods
Oct 19, 2015
Cottonwoods. 11x14, oil on linen panel. 2015. Today's paint out was at Great Country Farms in Bluemont, VA. This will probably end up being my last plein air of the year.

Fortunately the rain held off until mid afternoon. After walking around the property I settled on a corner of one of the back fields as...
