We are doing some “plein air” painting this weekend, with mostly painters in oil (Oil Painters) working alongside me.

The light is gorgeous in the woods these days.

Some good rules of thumb, such as “less is more,” end up broken as golden reeds with shiny tufts vie for attention in shafts of sunlight in the tree cover. It is nature’s own stained glass window!
