Off to Johnstown Castle gardens the following day for another paint-out. Due to other commitments, I could only stay for the morning, but managed to finish this one of the glasshouse in the walled garden. Another overcast but fairly bright day.

The last one here was done around midday on the Sunday of the competition proper. I don't usually do street scenes, so decided to push myself right out of my comfort zone by finding the most public place possible!

The lesson I'm going to take from this set is that you should just go out there and do it regardless of the weather and light. Your sensitive eye has been able to discern an interesting range of colour and value whilst still conveying the reality of the prevailing conditions. More good stuff. Wish I'd made it.
That's a good lesson, Mick. I spent my first two years of plein air painting waiting for perfect sunny days with consistent light. Needless to say, I didn't paint too often! And sometimes, dull days can be much better for plein air work, unless it's raining of course.
