Today, like many days lately, was overcast. Kim Vanderhoek and I planned to get together to paint plein air, but decided to paint inside instead. It turned out to be a misty overcast morning. So with that decision out of the way it was on to what to paint??? So I got out the Different Strokes For Different Folks challenge and painted that.It was fun because it was about creating color. The reference was a desaturated photo of a farm in middle America from one of Karin Jurick's many road trips. I painted small as I wanted to complete it in an hour, give or take a few minutes. Love when I paint with Kim as we have a very specific time frame and it pushes me not to dottle, or noodle.
Now the problem I have is it has been so long since i completed one of Karin's challenges I can't remember how to make it 450k and 300dpi, with out getting this little tiny thumbnail. So I hope to send it over to DSFDF if I can figure it out.

Understated and gorgeous, Dori. Love the thick, visible paintstrokes in the foreground and the thinner, more blurred out ones farther back. And as everyone said, the colors are wonderful!
