I took off work today and went back to Madison (and I'm about to leave to go camping in the Okefenokee Swamp in a few minutes). It paid off, as the sun was out and it was great. I had to capture the light I wanted quickly, as it was changing rapidly. It is nice painting the same subject so many times in a short period. Certain things come very quickly, which allows me to focus on the areas I want to improve.

Mother Nature really doesn't think much about painters. It is as if her astounding beauty is worth all the crap she can throw at you as you try to enjoy it. As I've written in several posts, she likes to present all kind of obstacles to you when you paint. As if painting wasn't challenging enough. Well, I got the best of her this week. I'm getting married in June at really cool antebellum mansion turned B&B called Madison Oaks in Madison, GA. In conjunction with the event, I'm going to do several paintings of the place.
