On Friday after paying my property tax bill in person, I noticed a shady spot, in the middle of town, where I could squeeze in some painting. So I set up my painting supplies and painted this scene.
If it looks dry to your eye it is because the ground has been in a drought for some time. I think the colors reflect this.
I sat on a low stone wall which is connected to this patio with drystone pavers in the foreground. Putney Road slices through the picture towards the top of the painting.
When painting outside you have to make many decisions rapidly, including deleting many elements in order to keep the composition simple and readable. This was fun to work on even if it is not by best painting.
