Poudre Valley


8" x 10" - oil on masonite

I painted this a week ago Sunday while testing out my pochade box. It was a beautiful day; mostly sunny with a few rain showers. The weather was a good test of my box because the rain gave me an opportunity to see how quickly I could pack up my supplies. About halfway through the painting I felt the first few drops and started to break camp. It took roughly 5 minutes to pack everything away. I was moving at a reasonable pace and am happy with the time. After waiting out the storm, I was able to finish the study an hour later.
