The VSO(Vermont State Orchestra) concert and fireworks on July 4, 2024 came off with wonderful weather in Grafton, VT. The humidity subsided in the evening making it a lovely experience.
Before intermission I was able to paint this plein air scene. At first the setting sun on the land wasn't all that spectacular, as it has been in years past, but then I was concerned it would get dark before I knew it.
Regardless, I was able to get this watercolor down on paper and clean up before they resumed the concert. However, there were many people watching as I painted with an array of comments at intermission.
For me it is always worth painting outside whenever I can, regardless of how good the picture is because I learn so much when painting outside within a limited timeframe.
