Sneaking Out in the Early AM

I painted this Saturday morning by sneaking out of the house early at 6 am. There was only one place with shade that still allowed me to get a good view of the very quaint general store and blue house next door. I didn't have very much time to work because the sun rose quickly and took away that shade. I just can't seem to paint in the hot sun even with a hat. So once overcome with sun I packed up

I think I will finish this up in my studio to thicken up the paint and put in the detail of the old Texaco sign (needs to be dry). I don't plein air paint often but this was a blast and I was done in 2 hours and home before anyone really noticed I was gone.
