Plein Air Oil Painting

With mercury rising to 35°, I decided to drive to Williamstown for fresh sea breeze. 

Every time I come here, I can’t resist temptation, well, I mean, Fish&Chips and Ice cream! You’ve got to have them. 

Unfortunately, it was too windy to set up easel near the water, so, I went to Botanical Gardens instead. 

I bumped into my artist friend Ray from Victorian Artists Society. He just finished his painting. He always does terrific work. 

It was still very windy but I managed to finish it. I focused on the effects of light, rather than too much details. 

I spent 2.5 hours. 

Oil on canvas. 14x18 in.
