A Plein Air Sketch: White Pine
Nov 11, 2014
White Pine. 8x6, oil on linen panel. 2014 I painted this small sketch on location at a home on Mt Gilead near Leesburg, VA. I managed to stop the painting at this point largely due to the intervention of another artist who made some nice remarks about the work in progress....
