Painting outside

Painting or drawing outside is a great way to luxuriate in your surroundings. Take an hour or two or more, and really notice the prettiest view around you. How does the light hit it? What part sparkles? How many shades of green do you need? How can you repeat a tiny pattern to get the vibe of a tree?

Ideally you keep it for yourself and never show anyone, or maybe your best friend who you know will relish in your excitement.
