Yesterday before I had to get ready for work, I decided that I needed to paint the field across the street from our home.  The lighting was so beautiful, I couldn't resist! I had a 4 x 5 canvas so I decided to try the direct painting method.  I mixed a lot of paint on the palette so I would have thick deliberate strokes.....and then LEFT each application. I had so much fun, and ended up with a fresh painting.  
Oil on canvas on panel. 4"H x 5"W
