This is another of my Ozark landscapes. It began as a water color sketch. I am not really a plein aire painter but I do a lot of outdoor sketches to prepare for studio work later. If time or circumstance don't permit I will take a photo but I don't really care to work from photos. When I was going to art school this was considered verboten. Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish both used photographs in their work but they were put down as mere illustrators. Funny, now they get retrospective shows in museums and galleries, and their prices are through the roof.
