Just about every Saturday now I'm fortunate enough to be able to spend the day painting. I've discovered that having a plan where to go and keeping it close allows me enough time to finish one and sometimes two paintings.
This Saturday I drove to Red Top Mountain State Park— Just about 30 minutes north up 75 and right on Lake Allatoona. A beautiful spot, with a wonderful bridge and views of the lake. It's been off the register hot as of late and this day was a scorcher. I set up on top of a hill overlooking the boat ramp and proceeded to paint this view of the bridge. Although it's not a bad little painting I think it was too ambitious for the 9x12" format and in the end it just did not have the drama of the actual view.
