July 4th Morning Outting

I decided on one of the hottest days so far this year to go plein air painting in the little town of Clifton.   Call me crazy, but I needed the mental therapy.   A shady spot was a must so I decided to paint Clifton Creek, which I have wanted to do for some time.  Knowing that I would be unable to handle the heat beyond noon, I decided to paint fast.  Breaking from my normal brush I used palette knife to create this painting, which is so unlike my style.  While I wish I had made the water greener or bluer, it really was orange due to the mud at the bottom.
