I was running late & got there a little after 5pm. Sharon & Donna H. had were there & had already met each other in the parking lot near the pool. They both paint in oil. The parking lot was not full. It was 70 F and sunny.
We grabbed our stuff and started walking east on the blacktop sidewalk around the pond away from the building. We stopped where we could see the birch trees across from us, chose the scene we each wanted, set up our easels and started painting.
I was tired so just sat on the ground and painted from my open guerilla box. I did a quick sketch and then as I only had a 6x6 canvas in my box painted on that. I used cad yel lt, cerulean blue (better suited to florida light) which I had to darken with paynes gray, burnt sienna and white off course.
I like greenfield park as the people are friendly, positive and curious so you get to have brief conversations with people. Plus with the 2 police officers riding bicycles so it felt even safer.
I'm pretty happy how my painting turned out. My little sister even recognized the location I painted when I met up with her to grout tile at mom's house at 7pm. Worked till 10pm. Came home real tired.
Sharon & Donna got the big shapes blocked in then planned to either finish at home or come back another time.
