I painted this on the green in Bar Harbor, Maine. It is a lovely setting with a captivating view towards the ocean. I deleted many elements to simplify the composition. There were many distractions all around me including many onlookers and children running about. Not to mention the numerous dogs people take with them.
Originally, I wanted to paint this lovely fountain on the corner of the green, in part since it was a hot day. There was a lovely wall I could perch on in the shade. However, a greyhound bus parked and blocked my view of the fountain.
One thing I have learned is that you have to be flexible and willing to adapt to situations which arise when painting outside in the elements.
