Hillsboro Plein Air

The Hillsboro Plein Air started today.  It was a very nice day for painting and a lot of painters opted for the Jackson Bottom Wetlands.  Luckily, the place is huge, so one could paint with others or not. No shortage of beautiful scenery.

After Lavender, what do you paint?

The gold is in the fields!   The first one was started on location at Jackson School Lavender last week.  I was having trouble making lavender work in the foreground.  So, when I didn't need it for the festival,  I reworked it without lavender at all.
