Duke Mansion. Charlotte, NC
Today I was lucky enough to paint with a group of Charlotte artists Plein Air Buds. I hope to continue painting with this group as much as I can! It was a wonderful day. The Duke Mansion was in the process of being redecorated, it was interesting to watch. Not much painting was done since I just met many people for the first time and there were conversations and introductions. Hope to be more accomplished the next time I go to paint outside!
I started with a small sketch (above) and then a bigger sketch (below). 
Scratched out the trees that were light on a dark background with the intention to “finish later”. I have a pile of such “finish later” paintings at home… 
It is not the result that matters! It’s the process! Like and share if you agree 🙂
