Was this a painting you created on location or did you paint from a photo in front of you? Do you take either approach at times? I can imagine it to be a fantastic thing to do, nice summer's day, the landscape before you and taking the first stroke on the canvas.

Hi

This painting was created from a photo. I have posted the reference picture in the post .. normally I paint from photos. It is easier that way that you have the luxury of having it in front of you with the shadows unmoved.

I have painted very few from location. Like my post last week. It is very difficult to see the shadows as in a photo and also the light changes fast and so does the shadow directions.

Painting from location also have other problems like insects rain heat and sweat to beat 😁

Great work! Nicely done!
