Plein Air Oil Painting

I drove to Yarra Bend Park in Fairfield this afternoon. I used to come here a lot for a long walk, but haven’t been here a long time. 

I remember painting from this spot in Westfield Reserve a couple of years ago, so decided to try it again. 

What I failed last time was its distance. Melbourne skyline looked too close. So, I paid extra attention to its tone. It was very peaceful. 

I spent 2.5 hours.  

I’m going to take a walk along the Yarra River now. It’s a beautiful day. 

Oil on canvas. 14x18 in.
