Sunset No.42

4/13/12
Leaving the house was just the start of a rough outing. I frantically closed up my painting box and,quickly grabbed my Utrecht bag with all of my supplies trying to hurry to the sunset before it got too dark. Then I realized that there was a puddle of  turpentine on the table and floor where I set my box on the way out the door. Now the house smelled like pine trees because I forgot to put the lid on the small container that holds the turps in my paint box...Then I arrived at the sunset with more fun. I had forgotten my tripod, so I would have to set up my paint box on the ground avoiding the ant beds and weeds along the shore of the lake. Bugs were crawling up my pant legs and biting me, i'm not sure what kind of bugs maybe flees but not mosquitoes. I tried to hurry this one painting fast but using lots of paint. A new composition with more foreground.
