July 4th Weekend

Last year for July 4th weekend we painted at Farnsworth Park in Altadena.  I tried to capture the Little League tournament that was going on that Saturday in Tournament for the 4th!.  Yesterday the group returned to the park and another Little League tournament day.

For this painting, I looked a little to the left of the baseball field, across the park, and across the street.    I also added two boys playing some catch.  I thought the expansive lawn and great trees would be good practice to remember some of what I learned in the Mike Hernandez gouache workshop.  It takes awhile of painting for new tips to possibly replace any old habits.  Another fun morning painting with friends.  Happy July 4th!
