Here and There o/c 6x8

My friend John and I took off a little early for clergy conference a week ago and spent a couple of hours painting before things got started. John and I have painted in the Virginia mountains and in England and Wales, and it is always good to get caught up in a painting and then turn around and realize, "all this and a friend to go smoke a cigar with later." Life is good. We chose a little parking lot in the middle of nowhere between two churches and a few other interesting buildings. I expected to paint a church, but I was drawn to the fields in the other direction. There's something about that bit of "there" glimpsed through trees that really speaks to me. I hope to do a big version of this one of these days.
