Yesterday was the 3rd annual plein air event at Louisiana Missouri.  It was a chilly start but ended up to be a beautiful day.  I did two paintings and was happy with the unexpected outcome of an honorable mention and a purchase award.  Icing on the cake of a fun day of painting.

Hot humid summer weather didn't keep me from going out to Shaw Nature Reserve.  It is one of my favorite places to paint.  There was a nice breeze to keep things comfortable.  The prairie flowers were blooming and the grasses are starting to turn that russet color.  Dark pines in the background seemed like guardians of the field.  A nice morning spent in this lovely place.
