Plein Air painting at the Pond

Plein air painting/painting from life is important to me. Here my set up with the 2 geese posing from last week. The geese and wildlife did not make it into my painting! I will post the new completed painting soon. Witnessing life firsthand—to have one's senses a part of the equation is a good thing that can only enhance one's work.
