Plein Air Oil Painting

I went back to Spotswood Jetty in Williamstown this afternoon. 

I decided to set up my easel at the same spot as the first time, under a pagoda. 

It’s a simple composition, but, it takes a lot of measuring to get proportions right. And, how difficult it is to paint straight lines!

It was a very pleasant afternoon with lovely sea breeze coming from the bay side. 

I really enjoyed this one. 

I spent 3 hours. 

Oil on canvas. 14x18 in. 

Then I spent an hour or so reading a book, sitting on a camping chair. 

I love this place.
