The chosen location and time of day,

just down the road from my studio!

I love atmospheric perspective!

And it was a classic late summer kind of day; 

hazy, hot, and humid!!

Though, later that day the weather changed dramatically 

and pushed all of the humidity out of the area,

taking away the original atmosphere 

I was drawn too. 

With the humidity gone, I still went 

to the site to rough out the composition.

The weather changed yet again while I was on location 

and the sun disappeared behind the clouds

making my plein-air efforts seemingly futile. 

 After the day of my plein-air efforts;

 the hazy, hot and humid weather 

which I was enjoying so much

did not return for the rest of the season,

so, I put the painting to the side in the studio

with the intention of finishing it at some point.

Recently, I started thinking about this piece again and

was also feeling the need to take a break from my Binoculars paintings

which I've been working on for the last several weeks.

I felt more compelled to work from my memory and imagination

and to just have fun and play with the paint rather

than rely on my original reference photo because the painting

already had the important information I needed.
