summer solstice, pablo picasso and finished field

12x24 pastel and watercolor on Uart
After 4 times in the field, I took this painting to the studio. It needed more feeling and less looking.
Pablo Picasso said it best,  "to draw you must close your eyes and sing"
The goal was to feel the amazement of the longest day of the year, that light, intense, warm and magical.  (big goal, eh?)
I think I will work on another version of this one.

Happy Summer everyone!
