Jack Darling Memorial Park

I had a fantastic day painting with members of the "Ontario Plein Air Society" (OPAS) at this lovely but very busy park.  There are now three groups of artists that I am painting with so I am getting lots of practice in but it doesn't leave much time for formatting and posting the results.  I really need to find my camera charger.  Both paintings, as usual, are 11" X 14" oil on hardboard.

This was my first painting of the day.  I had to cross a stream to get to the spot were I set up so I didn't think that I would get many visitors.  It is amazing how many curious visitors came over to see what I was doing.  I am happy with most of this painting.  It was a blustery day and I think that I managed to capture a bit of that.

This is my second painting of the day.  There was an amazing view of the Toronto Skyline.  I was standing on a very public beach to paint this one and I had lots of visitors.  I am starting to get used to having people looking over my shoulder while I am painting.  Most leave me to my work or make a quick comment but some like to chat.  Especially other artists who could never see themselves painting where people could watch and interrupt them.  Hmmmmmm.
