Carole and Charles Sikes invited the Plein Air Austin group to their home on Lake Travis for a paint-out. I had a great time doing this piece. I'm feeling more comfortable and in control of the knife; I was most pleased with the hills on the horizon. Unfortunately when I put the painting in my wet-paint carrier for the ride home, the painting fell against the inside of the carrier. I did my best to rework it. Between this experience and the impasto style I'm playing with I think I need to begin working on material that is mounted on wood. I'm afraid the days of painting on loose canvas are about gone.
