en plein air with no touch ups!

I had not done very much outdoor (plein air) painting before January of this year and it was such a struggle at first. I would do the best job I could of capturing the colors and shapes, then go home and look at the photos and often repaint the whole painting. I am so proud of todays piece because I am not touching it up, just leaving it fresh and spontaneous. This was painted at Sunset Point in Mandeville, Louisiana
