My friend and I spent the day on the mountain during the fall. I managed to get three studies painted which included this one. The wind was cool, yet the sun was warm and comfortable. My neck blistered without my being aware. Plein air painting is one of the most enjoyable activities in which I have ever participated. For me, it's a spiritual experience. Some of the best moments I have ever lived have been spent painting outdoors. I know why Monet expressed a desire to die outside with a paintbrush in his hand. He got his wish. Maybe I will too.
