My Favorite Plein Air Painting

(C) 2020 Dale DiMauro

By now I have painted countless plein air paintings. However, this one stands out as my favorite. I like the composition with the backlit light, the colors and figure. A landscape painting captured in a vertical orientation.

I mention this because it sits as the top sheet on one of my watercolor blocks. It makes me pause every time I see it.

The other quality about this watercolor is that it depicts a scene from a local park. With the prevalence of COVID-19 many parks are off limits or their use is heavily restricted. During times like these, a pleasant picture can be reassuring.
