6/7/2021 Paint Annapolis Day 2

Today I sat at one of the cafe tables at Siri’s Crepes and attempted to paint the US Naval Academy’s Halsey Field House. The pic here doesn’t do it justice but it seems to have a copper roof with a really interestingly varied patina. Here is my sketch. I got some good painting done on it too but it’s out in the car and my feet and ankles are swollen from sitting with a metal cafe chair digging into the backs of my thighs for 5 hours. So I’ll post that tomorrow. The apple was still in my backpack so I’ll defer to my pic of that from yesterday.

6/6/2021 Paint Annapolis!

Sunday was day 1 of my participation in Paint Annapolis (https://mdfedart.com/paintannapolis/#public) and this is my first ever plein air painting. What a learning experience! No apple in the painting but here it is, it was with me! All my art time is going to be taken-up by Paint Annapolis this week so there may be other times the apple is in my bag and not the art—fair warning.

Anyway, I will have 3 paintings up and for sale in the Paint Annapolis “Pop-up” gallery June 12–22. If you like any of the others I don’t choose to submit, let me know—it can be yours!
