The Swimming Hole

acrylic on canvas, 6" x 12"

A plein air sketch that I started tweaking in the studio, then stopped because it all started to go pear-shaped.  I couldn't remember how I mixed the colors that day by the pond, and once you start in with a slightly different palette, there's no end to the changes that ensue.  I liked some things about this effort sufficiently to want to preserve them.  So, I chalk this one up to a successful learning experience.  Onward!
