Once again the temperature reached 95F (35C) and the humidity was even higher making it feel like 107F (41.7C). I was fortunate in that where I was sitting at the back of the church hall I got an occasional breeze coming through the open door.
I worked on this painting that I had started quite some time ago (see posts on 29 January 2012, 11 December 2015 and 23 February 2016).
I started by painting in the hills using various mixtures of raw sienna, French ultramarine blue and Antwerp blue and left the trunk of the main tree in the left side field white.
Once the paint had dried I used a mixture of the grass colours and burnt sienna to paint in the fence posts and then using pure burnt sienna for the barbed wire fence.

I am not sure that I like the light green colour of the hills but before I change the colour I will probably put in the trees take and decide at that point if I will change the colour. I will post this painting at a later date.
