World Wide Paintout


This is the weekend that plein air painters all over the world paint "together." Because of the time zones, it's like a wave of painting going on for several days. Some of the New Hampshire Plein Air painters met yesterday at Twin Bridge Park in Merrimack. Baboosic Brook runs near the park; right now, it's blasting through, as the remnants of storms are still pouring tons of water all over New England. I set up right near the first bridge, looking up the brook. The water was golden-brown, probably from the tannin in leaves that soaked in the brook upstream. It's 9 x 12, oil on panel; I still have a way to go on this one. (That's Clinton painting on the other side of the brook.)
