En Plein Air in Minocqua, WI

11 x 14 wc and ink on canvas board

The Minocqua, WI Museum

Every now and again a really pretty morning shows up on the day when the Northern Outdoor Painters have scheduled a day to paint!  How lucky is THAT!
AND due to the fact that the 12 of us that painted…were "in town" out and about in the streets of the town, the mosquito issue was not a huge issue!!!

I painted from 9:30 to noon.  
Everyone chose different spots…stores, parks, restaurants, etc. all over town.  
Then we all gathered at the Thirsty Whale for lunch.
I really wish we could get people to bring what they painted to lunch so we could have the fun of seeing the sketches and paintings.  

I have a few little tweaks to do to this painting but I like that it is just what it is…a fresh little watercolor sketch.  I'll spray it with clear mat acrylic medium and show it without glass.  
Next week is the turn over at the gallery in town…this might be fun to take over.  

Lots of rain in the forecast now for the next three days.  Lucky us.

  1. You've made a lovely painting out of what I might have deemed a rather dull scene! (I think it's all the white stripes on the road.)
    If even two or three of you are interested in sharing your day's work at lunch, maybe you could bring what you've done and share with each other. After a few weeks, someone else might share, and so on and so on and so on... :)
