scouting

iPhone photo along the bike path this morning

 

Delivery of new painting boards is due in two days so I've been busy scouting in preparation.  Everywhere I go now I'm looking for views, lighting and possible setups to paint outside.

 

Here's a photo of the view along the bike path this morning on the way back from Caribou.  There were countless compositions that presented themselves along the route.  I never know what I'll paint, though, until I start walking with easel in tow while looking through my view-finder.  Weather permitting, that will happen this Friday.
