Work keeps enroaching on my scheduled painting time. I dropped off my paintings for the Schauer Show in Hartland at 3ish but then made the mistake of taking 83 south. A lot of construction which wouldn't have been too bad except I went too far south into Waukesha so ended up cutting back north. I was avoiding the southbound 45 mess which was already backed up when I went to Hartland. I should have taken 94 east to moreland, which is where eastbound 94 starts to back up during rush hour, then moreland south until I got to howard/grange or so to take east to greendale.
Well by the time I got to Greendale I only had an hour to paint so parked my car in the parking lot across the street from the library and went over by the Gazebo. I figured they could see me there from the library but I guess not. Al came by about 15 minutes before I had to leave and said Roger, Cathy, Ted and Amy came but I did not see them because I had to leave for work.
I decided to do a watercolor sketch as I didn't have much time and it was less stressful than acrylics and less messy than pastels. I got the shapes penciled in and a light layer of watercolor put in then my hour was up and I had to leave. It was a good start. Maybe I will finish it later.
Weather was about 70 and cool in the shade with a slight breeze. I sat at a picnic table with my multimedia sketchbook and my prange and sparkly watercolors. Everything fits in my backpack and is quick and easy to setup, use, and take down. Just practice, that's all.
