20x16 acrylic on stretched canvas, en plein air, November 2012. Framed.

I love this one! A slow hiker, I arrived at this lunch spot a few minutes after everyone else, settled in to paint and eat. Barely more than 20 minutes later, everyone got up and started leaving! I assumed this quick sketch would be finished later (many are) but I liked it more and more as I viewed it at home. Fastest successful painting I’ve done.
