Yesterday I went to Georgetown to meet some friends to do a little plein air painting. There was much to do before getting downtown so I didn't arrive until about 4pm. I went to the Potomac Boathouse as that is the only place I knew that was potentially paintable without a lot of traffic. I painted right outside the gates of the club which had a great clearing and view of the Key Bridge. Here is my effort. It is 8 x 10. The size was perfect since the sun disappeared by about 6pm. Surprisingly, it takes 2 hours to only get this far. I think I will glaze a hot orange or cad yellow over the bridge once it is dry, but otherwise this is finished. It was such a blast. The only creepy thing was that there are homeless people living in the woods right behind the boat club. It made me very uneasy when the jogging and biking crowd dimished as the sun set.
