Plein Air Oil Painting

I drove to Studley Park Boathouse in Fairfield this afternoon. A beautiful place. Very quiet during weekdays. So close to City but one can experience ‘bush walk’ along the Yarra River. 

I set up my easel at the same spot as the last time, a couple of weeks ago. 

I decided to get closer to the boathouse for this composition, carefully observing the effect of light. 

I think this one is better. I spent 2.5 hours. 

Oil on canvas. 14x18 in.
