Turtle Pond 6x8 oil on panel, about an hour and a half
I was standing on the dock behind Belvedere Castle. I really wanted to
paint the castle, as a week ago I got all set up then the rain started-
way earlier than the hourly forecast said it would-
of course I didn't have my umbrella. I would have stayed except the
paint wouldn't adhere to my panel, I was so mad. So last Friday I went
back to the same spot but the angle of the sun made the castle
impossible...so I painted Turtle Pond instead.
I think I dropped something in the pond by accident but I'm not sure
what...I thought it was one of my solvent jar lids- the ones that Ben
Haggett packs with his boxes...turns out it wasn't, thankfully- whatever
it was sank so fast I couldn't tell what it was....nothing seems to be
missing so hopefully it was just an old crusty oil paint-laden paper
towel.
