Windy Bernheim, oil on gessobord, 8x10"
Yesterday, to take advantage of a rain-less day, I took Rothko (see pic below) to Bernheim to paint and hike. I wanted to continue with the vast, tiered landscapes of the Parklands series (which will continue hopefully tomorrow), so I set up near the Educational Building, stuck my set-up around a corner of the building to use as a wind block. The wind gusts still found us, and at times I was having to hold the pochade box with one strong hand or risk the entire set-up blowing over. It was an adventure that took a lot of laughing, and having Rothko there to helped me sustain. Out of these conditions came this sweet little landscape.
