Time for lunch travel the day after a rainOne of the special things about painting is that the strokes I make with the paint brush preserves that time forever! I love that! This particular image I painted from life "plein air" during a hike in Manning Park. We stopped for lunch and the fortunately for me I found a great spot to set up, the bugs were not out and neither were other people. Robert was off in the distance far enough away but close enough to keep an eye on me and my surroundings
